Ha! Those guys were LaserLight, eh? Yes, largely garbage CD's!

For what it's worth, the two high-resolution DVD-Audio discs I have of the Everest material from 
Classic Records were very well transferred by Bernie Grundman. But, the Everest transfers for CD in 
the 1990's also weren't bad, I think the late David Smith at Sony oversaw the playback of some of 
the 35mm masters.
