Mine seems to play OK -- except that the readout shows the conductor as
"Drati"! Makes me wonder if years from now I'll run across a disc in
these boxes I never played yet that turns out to be bad! But if you
can't get a playable clone from your copy, perhaps one of us can clone
one for you from ours.
You know, back in the days of 78 sets, most record companies and stores
would let you have (buy) a replacement disc if you broke one without
having to exchange or buy a whole set. RCA even had a service that
would repress a copy of an out-of-print disc if they still had the
master. Sometimes they unwittingly pressed up a copy of an unreleased
master if a collector found a gap in a recording session and took a
chance and asked for it.

Try ripping the CD to your hard drive, then burning a copy. I've found
that computer CD drives, working in data mode, can sometimes read what a
regular CD player, or a drive in audio mode, won't. Rip at the slowest
speed your software allows; I use AudioGrabber, which with my TDK drive
works at 4x or faster. On problematic discs I set it to 4x. I use 8x on
normal discs.
Peace,
Paul
