Decay of early CD pressings :(

VINYL IT IS

On a more serious note:

Yes, it happened to me as well. With the first pressings of Innuendo and The Miracle on cd.

Weird, in my case Innuendo it's first pressing and it's pristine, same for The Miracle (also bought in 1991)

Both manufactured in Holland.

It could be caused by the plastic in the tubs you are storing the CDs in. I know with vinyl, PVC sleeves can cause "fogging". Perhaps the plastic used in the tubs is reacting with the CDs.

I know a lot of CDs have had problems with the glue used in the card inserts reacting with the plastic cases to damage some CDs. I think in the last couple of years the glue was changed so maybe this won't happen from now on. I've lost a couple of cd singles (not Queen but on Parlophone) the same way.

Where would glue be used on a card insert, particularly on a CD single?

bronzing?

I was gutted when disc 1 of my Live Killers turned to cheese... the other one turned into a cracker though.. happy days!

;-)

Meanwhile I`ve checked my other Queen CD`s...there`re all fine with the exception of GH2.
It`s a Parlophone/ UK ( early 90`s) CD.

I don't understand, my CD it's exactly the same than yours and it's also pristine as the rest...
