I don't believe this for a moment. This is a ridiculous argument. You can copy a digital master a millions times and never degrade the original. Furthermore, any copy is just as good as the master. Why, if you had a CD without two many little holes in it, you could even use it to make a new digital master that would be close to indistinguishable from the original digital master. I can't see any possible good reason why a U.S. record company should remaster from inferior analog copies a CD that was digitally recorded, mixed, and mastered in England. This defeats thwe whole purpose of "digital"! |>oug X is for KATE's pictures, their rumours a tort
