Unless the CDs are going to use a different format such as DVD audio, HDCD or
SACD, how much better can they be than the Bullseye CDs?
By the way if there are any Cars fans out there I highly recommend "The Cars",
"Candy-O" and "Panorama" CDs that have the HDCD process.
The sound is excellent and a big upgrade from the original CDs.

I will announce the mastering guru when Terry confirms that the new 176bit
transfer from the original, baked, analog tape master is in his hands. The
gentleman in question worked for Mobile Fidelity back in 'the day' if that's
any clue.
