It's provable that the other masters weren't faulty. The reviews in AA
and AF couldn't possibly have been done from later CDs because of the
timing. But this is irrelevant, You could produce 99 perfect golds from
the same image file, but that doesn't guarantee that the 100th is
perfect. It could be caused by a physical fault on the blank CD.
I assume that Chris had already paid the duplicators before the [problem
surfaced. Otherwise he'd have no trouble in getting them to release the
gold to an independent tester. But if they've got his money and the
proof, he's in a sewage canal without a means of propulsion.
