I enjoyed reading your breakdown of LP production costs.  It was very
informative and interesting.  I can't agree with the above statement, 
however.  I own around 200 Angel LPs and the pressings are almost uniformly
of lower quality than DGG, Phillips, and many other European and audiophile
labels.  (The reason I have bought so many is that Angel is best source
of 20th century British music--can't always get EMI.)  I would be willing
to concede, though, that they are the highest-quality pressings among
large American record companies.
