This is an interesting comment, since all the Telarc recordings (at
least in the last several years) are digitally recorded.  This implies
that somehow putting digital information onto an LP in the recording
studio and then playing the LP gives a more listenable result than
playing that SAME digital information directly.  As a friend of mine
likes to say, "What's wrong with this picture?"
