The problem with ripping or duplicating a CD-R with a label unbalancing it is that most duplication processes do it at speeds >>1X, which exacerbates the problem.

Thanks for this writeup; it puts the album in a little more context. Maybe someday we'll get to hear it!

I merged @jimmyjrg 's topic with this one to get all of the interested parties in one place.

Thank you. I hadn't seen either of those books. That's interesting to know that the album was appearing in lists before Lord. @sonnymax Yes, I've been in touch with Dan. He motivated me to write this up so all of the information was collected somewhere.
