Recordings we would like........
This topic is really in two parts:
1. Performances on CD which have deteriorated (bronzing/CD rot) over the years to the extent that they are unplayable.
2. Performances which appear to be unobtainable.
In both cases we cannot find replacements despite endless searching so, if anyone has any ideas, comments, leads, suggestions they would be most gratefully received!
Performances we are interested in (so far): Our copies are 'bronzed' and, often, we get no help from the CD company. We wil be happy with a 'copy' and we will offer something very special for which we will make an exchange.
