One question: Is it in a super jewel case (like most SACDs) or a regular one? - Russell 08:58:33 04/29/03 (1)

It's in a regular jewel case <nt> - Joel_Waterman 04:19:44 04/30/03 (0)

Just found a Japanese-pressed copy; hopefully that'll be it (at least for this title). (nt) - Russell 13:25:52 04/28/03 (0)

My 1st and 3rd are o.k. for now, but my 6th has a crack.nt - Guss2 11:43:46 04/28/03 (2)

Is your copy of the 6th from the recent re-pressing? - Russell 23:02:00 04/28/03 (1)

Yes. - Guss2 06:14:11 04/29/03 (0)

Aaargh! both my copies are Crest, but... - SamS 07:41:02 04/28/03 (4)

IMHO, they will crack in due course if you use the SACD case. - Audiophilander 09:51:16 04/28/03 (3)

Anyone in Calif. want to be brave and walk one of their cracking DSOTMs into Crest? (Address...) - Michi 03:05:07 04/28/03 (0)

Note --- My Police (Every Breath) Crest SACD cracking in EXACT same manner as DSOTM. - Michi 02:52:27 04/28/03 (0)

What about cracking SACDs on other labels pressed by Cress? What labels should I avoid? - Teresa 00:32:17 04/28/03 (3)

Re: Telarc = Not Pressed at Crest - bmoura 00:40:14 04/28/03 (2)

Can you post the list of those titles (and perhaps year printed)? nt - Eric LeRouge 04:21:05 04/28/03 (0)

Thanks Brian, if I ever get my SACD player back I want the new Mount St. Helens on Telarc SACD. - Teresa 00:58:00 04/28/03 (0)

1) ... On the spines of the discs, look for a catalog number without a "US" designation. - Michi 00:13:56 04/28/03 (0)

2) ... On the back of the jewel case, look for "Manufactured in Japan". - Michi 00:12:39 04/28/03 (0)

3) ... On the discs themselves, look for a WIDE circle and BLUE fine print. - Michi 00:11:17 04/28/03 (0)

4) ... And finally, a closeup of the cracking phenomenon. - Michi 00:09:42 04/28/03 (4)

Re: 4) ... Any chance I can get replacement? - naZri 23:08:26 04/28/03 (1)
