[78-L] CDs with paper labels

[Russell Miller]

My guess is that CD-R failures with adhesive labels will depend on the
adhesive used, and maybe some properties of the CD-R surface. I've had some
that still play perfectly, and many more that are unreadable. I haven't yet
tried removing labels, but some success has been reported, so that's a
project for the coming months.
