The title should be CD.sound and the British.
Better yet, pick up any British hi-fi magazine of *1950* (when LP was
introduced there) and read what they said about THAT.  I did that, and
found that there was (particularly among the editors of *Gramophone*)
considerable resistance to LP; even a published belief that 78s were
intrinsically better "for some kinds of music".  In fact what the
reviewers were responding to were the transference to LP of the recording
techniques of the time, which had been optimized for 78s; or the use of
78 disc masters for mastering LPs.  Now, no-one wants to believe that
his multi-hundred-pound table-and-arm system is to be obsoleted overnight,
especially by a EUROPEAN/JAPANESE invention, in Britain, also.
They`ll come around.  So, we hope, will the recording engineers.
