almost all my cds were bought first hand before 1998. =C2=A0all
came with proper packaging, and silkscreening on the front side.

even so, as you point out, the quality does vary. =C2=A0i find some remaste= red
AAD or ADD disks to be of good quality. =C2=A0listening to muddy waters, "folk singer" as i type.
