The later releases in this series is supposed to have the liner notes. I have the Klemperer Haydn London Symphonies set and it looks almost identical to the EMI set. Sure they could have used a less cheap-looking ink but everything that should be there is there.
What I wonder is why they call it ON-DEMAND. ON-DEMAND from whom ? Do they survey a bunch of classical music lovers and ask them which OOP recordings they want reissued?
They don't burn the CD until you
demand it. I thought that was fairly clear usage of the term.
I bought some Japanese RCA Ormandy isues from them, and it was a good deal compared to ordering from Japan. They include liner notes, but like the Japanese issues they copy, in Katakana only.
I like having having a nicely labeled CD with the tray papers. Otherwise, if I'm downloading and burning myself, the disc will probably just get lost, and the files will probably get destroyed in a disk crash.
Considering the ridiculous prices that so many OOP CDs command on Amazon, I no longer find the Archivmusic prices unreasonable.
