I have a very large collection of CDs and LPs. I have no problems with my 30+ year old LPs. I also think they had a statement on the early CDs saying how great they were! C.Jewell1980.

I produced a number of copies of 'cleaned up' tapes of a mate's band on CDs for him, and some of these have developed the 'static' noises you describe, particularly on the last track, but none has any discoloration. They were all Vivastar CD blanks - not a household name, but seem to be OK according to a number of articles I've foudn on the Web. The problem is also dependent on the CD player - all the affected copies play badly in his car, but only some are bad in other machines. Some are bad in my hi-fi CD player and my computer. Any ideas? Could it be his car player's laser is too powerful and is burning the discs even more? That player is always OK with commercial CDs. I've tried using a laser lens cleaner with no success.

These holes are completely through the CD. I would like to know if the record labels have any info concerning the return of these faulty discs. Most of the ones I have are from Polygram. Hello,
