Wow. To see it like that. Plainly stated by industry professionals. No

That message was very common on early CDs.

Jeez, it was just a part of the 'digital bull****' when the MI was trying to
con a generation of idiots over to a new 'perfect sound for life' medium -
if CD was as 'perfectly accurate' as a few here claim, why should it sound
*any* different to the original master??
