Defective presses of cast recordings...?

Hi all,

Does anyone else have trouble playing SOME cast recordings? Ones that tend to flip out and skip in my CD players are The Secret Garden OBC, Nine NBC and Phantom Canadian Cast.

Any thoughts?

Are they original? or copies?
Try it on your computer. Sometimes CD's are MP3 compatible (which all computer drives have) and some CD players dont.

Yep, all original copies. Currently playing The Secret Garden here on my comp, and it's certainly not skipping, but the D drive is making a hideous humming noise.

The first song on my Dreamgirls OBCR never played so I had to go get a new one. Other than that experience however, I haven't had any problems.

Maybe these CDs go defective once they cross the Equator, haha.

Or perhaps my products just hate ALW, Lucy Simon and Marsha Norman, and Maury Yeston. I have no trouble playing Herman or Sondheim!

The first time I ever bought The Lion King recording, the disc I got was apparently blank. I returned it and got another, but it was weird. The clerks at the store were utterly confused.

I could never get my Applause cd to play on any player. (Some people would consider that a good thing).

my OBCs of TITANIC and JANE EYRE must be defective because they should have been double disc CDs with the entire score preserved... oh, wait... does that count as defective?

The Brooklyn CD is defective. There's all these screeching sounds....

Haha BSO. Nine has given me nothing but problems since the moment I bought it. I think it might be the record company b/c Assassins sometimes sucks as well...

Sum, I had the same problem with Dreamgirls.

I don't know if it's like that on every CD, but on my Aida OBCR, the last two songs (Elaborate Lives (Reprise) and Every Story..Reprise I think) aren't split up as they're listed. They're just one track.

If your player is older it may need a cleaning. Dust. smoke and grime get in their and make it hard for the laser to read. Very few discs are defective in manufacture. Also are the discs clean and free of scratches and fingerprints?
