Comments: An official re-issue of the original CD by SONY/BMG, it’s an exact copy of the music from the original recording in CDO format and the same graphic for the cover…Da werd‘ ich doch ‚mal leicht skeptisch … aber die Neugierde hat dennoch gesiegt …
Dabei scheint es sich wohl wirklich um offizielle, hochwertige Kopien zu handeln:
CDs – ON DEMAND! During the last 20 years, while CDs have remained the public’s music format of choice, manufacturing technology has advanced to the point where professional pressings can be made to order. This is great news for the many old classics, rarities, and titles that you may only have on vinyl – albums thought to be lost to the archives forever, now available again through CD On Demand.
CD On Demand is an officially manufactured product; the re-released albums are exact copies of the music from the original recordings and have the same cover artwork. Packaging is kept to a basic generic format, using booklet cover artwork (see example here). While it is a simplified version of the original pressing, it has passed all the record companies‘ quality checks for audio content and artwork reproductionHOW DOES IT WORK? The music is digitised and manufactured to the CD without audio compression, i.e. „Red Book“ standard. The CD’s physical specifications, tracks, and sampling are as per the original masters. This ensures the listener is hearing the music in its full recording quality.
The processes used for the manufacture of CD On Demand takes CDR technology to a new dimension. The CDs are an audio-optimised CDR media with a true silver coloured surface. The CDRs we are using are fully compatible with any CD-Audio or CD-ROM player. (You can read more about compatibility here).
WHERE ARE THEY? CD On Demand titles are categorised and arranged alongside our 200,000+ CD range. A title currently unavailable on CD may now reappear in CD search listings, with a CD On Demand logo. More titles available means more choice all round!
