Alright, I read the other people's responses.  The thing that has some truth
is that if your CD has a very deep scratch the aluminum may oxidize and the
CD would not operate correctly.  That is why they cave come out with the 
overpriced "GOLD" CD's.  They should not have that problem if scratched.

The moral of the story, DON'T SCRATCH YOUR CD'S!

Are BMG CD's second rate, or factory seconds, or something? It seems to me

Tracks 1-6 are songs, tracks 7-97 are blank 1 second tracks and tracks 98 and
99 are the remaining two songs.

That's weird.

What's weirder is that I know two people who also bought it and THEIR copies
had 1 CD with 6 songs and a second 3" CD with the other 2 on them... what gives?

Did they release different versions to confuse everyone? Did I get some special

More Jimmy Cliff recommendations should include Reggae Spectacular

Bob Marley: Live!	- far more energy than the over-filtered Legend
UB40			- their untitled signature albulm, or Labour of Love 2
Desmond Dekker		- try a best-of, mostly ska, has a new one I haven't heard

Also try: Peter Tosh, Aswad, Identity, Maxi Priest, English Beat, Madness

Is there any good new (1992) reggae?  I've had the worst luck with

Interesting theory. I always thought those PLAY LOUD messages, which as far
as I can tell started showing up around 1979 (I frist recall seeing it on 
the B52's first lp) were because it's been scientifically proven that 
you absorb music better if it's louder, just like you have more fun driving
a sportscar if you go faster... and food is more fun if you eat till you're
stuffed, and party till you puke! Yeah...  

Let me get this straight - quieter music doesn't fill the grooves as much? 
So if I wanted to make an lp of real quiet sounds or total silence I could
get a couple of hours of playing time? I think there's a couple of loopholes
in this theory... 

My guess is that the master recordings have little to do with it. On tape
you record to fill the headroom as much as possible, generally at just below
the maximum levels you can get without distorting the signal. If you record
too low levels you increase tape hiss and noise.

My assumption is that in digital recording people aren't as conscious of the
record levels as with analog, because it doesn't really matter as much. So
the transfer to digital from audio is probably where the volume level ends
up too low or too high. I have one disc that seems louder than most of the 
others I have. So I assume that not all cds are pressed with the maximum
volume possible, and that occasionally some end up quieter or louder because
of something in the digital transfer process. 

I have a nice Sony cd player that remembers info on 180 discs for me. It
saves a name, a track selection and an output volume level. So if I have
discs that are disproportionally loud or quite I can save new output settings
for those discs. When the volume difference is most noticable is when I 
have 5 discs in on shuffle play and it switches from disc to disc each song.  
The volume feature is handy for making tapoes from multiple discs.

I asked this question a while ago, after that show first appeared.
Here was the response I got from danielh@sequent.com who got it
from Bertrand Decouty:

one is a full record (10 tracks): the power of six, which includes
'some kinda people'.  french reference is Polydor (stiff label) 835 883-2, 
dated 1988

the 2nd is a maxi CD, Girls to the power of six, which includes 3 mixes of the title song and 'set me free'. Ref 871 145-2, Polydor.

Both are produced by Trevor Horn.

Hope this helps you to find them.

S'funny. The disc *I* noticed that problem on was "Ghost In The Machine"!

I think the fault *usually* lies with the original master. Master tapes
are recorded in such a way as to fit the entire album into the lp's grooves.
In the case of very long albums, or ones with extended loud passages, the
lp's were mastered at a lower volume than usual to fit more 'stuff' into
the grooves. (Remember all those "Play it LOUD" messages on some albums?)

Sometimes when the record companies went to transfer lp's to CDs they said
"OK, we'll use the original masters for best quality!", as A&M did. In some
cases, apparently those two circumstances combined to produce the low volume
discs as you noted above. (most nowadays are mastered to be compatible with
CDs, so it's not usually a problem)

Of course, these are my own impressions from the facts as I understand them.
I'm *not* an audio engineer, so if I'm wrong I accept no responsibility! I-)

I've been trying to figure out an easy list for deciding where to look for
CD's first for best buy...

It seems to me that BMG's "Buy 1, get 2 more free" deal is the best.  Itc
comes out to between $6-$7  for new CD's.  The only problem is their selection.
Next, I think discount stores like Target.  Target has $10.99 sales on $14.99
CD's around once per month.  Also, all the hit Pop CD's are $10.99 for months
(Billboard top 10).  Noteworthy seems to be the solution for buying 3 or more
CD's that are not quite pop enough to get into the discount stores.  New
CD's seem to go for around $12, plus $4 or so for shipping 1-5 CD's. (3 CD's
would go  for around $13-$14), and they have $8-$10 low priced CD's (3 CD's
would go for around $10-$11).  Not bad!  Columbia seems to have the worst
deals available.  The cheapest they can get is if you buy during a $6.99 sale
(Buy 1 at reg. prices,get 1 at $6.99 comes out to about $13-$14 per CD).  But
those $6.99 sales are usually pretty unpopular CD's.

The reason I post this is I'm curious if anyone else has a cheaper path to
get the best buy for CD's.  My thought is that generally, if you can find them
in BMG, this is the best deal, while Columbia is the worst.

	I would recommend buying one or two "compilations" to start off with,
Greensleeves, Heartbeat, Mango, and Shanachie have put out many excellent such

  If it was "released" by their Label, I don't see how U2 could sue a

If you purchased an *import* for $18-20, it's a safe bet that it was *not*
one of the "gold" discs I was talking about!  I was refering to MFSL and
(what *was* the company that produced that Cream disc?) 'Ultra-discs' or
whatever they call them.  $18-20 is about what one could expect to pay
for a *domestic* version of one of these discs!
