688.0. "Cheap CD's in the UK" by RDGENG::LESLIE (Andy, CSSE ME for VOTS/OSAK/X400) Tue Mar 24 1987 08:48

    
    This note is for mid-to-low-price-range CD's in the UK for the many
    UK readers/visitors in this file.
    
    Most of this is filched from Which? Compact Disc, April edition.

    In this case ADD should be taken to mean digitally remastered.
