Re: [ARSCLIST] SACD fans -- some discounts

Even before that..I bought new pressings of all the Lenny Bruce Fantasy LPs in 
the 70s and a couple of them had several layers of echo and pre-echo. New 
transfers from bad tapes.

There were some weird things in the early CD days. I remember the CBC 
purchasing what appeared to be an authorized CD reissue of the "Zorba the 
Greek" soundtrack. It was dubbed from noisy vinyl and all the tracks ran together.
