[net.audio] JARRE - Rendezvous - Polydor Label Screwup

agoe@ur-tut.UUCP (Karl Cialli) (04/19/86)

I just picked up Jarre's latest on CD in New York.  I was quite excited 
as the box it came in (not the clear plastic type) said DIGITAL RECORDING
and the SPARS code on the back said DDD.  When I got home and opened it up,
the jewel box cover said AAD and then pressed on the disc itself was 'AAD'.

Upon listening, the sound quality was excellent with just a slight bit of hiss
in the real quiet parts.  I brought it back and the salesman said he had the
disc himself and had called Polydor about it.  He said it was just a labeling
mistake and that it was indeed a digital recording.

I don't know whether or not to believe him simply because he didn't tell me
about this when I bought it.  If anyone out there is looking to buy this,
open the disc there or perhaps wait until the disc comes out under just the
Dreyfuss label like all of Jarre's others have.
