I wonder if any record labels have considered using a laser turntable
(eg
http://www.elpj.com/about/index.html) in situations where the
master tapes have deteriorated?
Has anyone out there in this group ever tried one of these machines?

There are still many past LP releases not yet released on CD or SACD.
I'm interested in two from RCA, one from the later 50s and another
from the mid-60s.
Is there anyone at BMG, or elsewhere I can email, write or otherwise
lobby to suggest these items be made available?
CDs made from master tapes that old are often disappointing. The tapes
have aged, and the flaws are often audible. A good example is the
Mercury Living Presence series - the CD transfers are way inferior to a
well cared-for LP. You might consider transferring an original LP to
CD yourself. You'll likely get a much, much better result.
