Someone in different circumstances (and with a different personality) might have saved every scrap of "official" communication from the Compact Disc Group, or whatever was the name of the public-relations collaborative in NYC that was funded by the various industry participants.
I definitely remember setting aside time to read all the stuff about how wonderfully robust S/PDIF-System CDs were.
I vividly recall that the staff at DIGITAL AUDIO review decided that the WORST EVER CD TO DATE was by Zubin Mehta's son Bejun, who was a Boy Soprano.
So, they decided to sacrifice that CD to a Torture Test. Does anyone else remember that?
I thought it was gratuitously cruel.
They smeared Peanut Butter on it, etc.
