One of my CDs I found in a hedge. It plays perfectly.

Not surprised. Often I can see no difference between discs that play fine
and the few that won't.

The only time I've had a dodgy one was some sort of pressing problem.
The manufacturer sent me a replacement disc, and I sent them back the
old disc with a report from the CD tester we had at work. It wasn't a
speck of dust, it was all over it, and I assume they had lots.

I returned a number of discs that had the 'brown rot' problem that PDO
created for a while. The replacements were all fine. But as previously
said, I also have various other discs that show problems. They are rare,
but crop up. Again, often with no eyeball detectable reasons.

Much lower levels of problems that I got with LPs back in the 1970s,
though!... :-)
