Target CDs

"Flat transfers of the original tapes" meaning tapes mastered for vinyl ?
If they zero out with the normal CDs, it was likely a dupe of the
digital master that was sent to the pressing plant. Two transfers from
the same analogue master tape are very unlikely to be identical bit for
bit, with the best result being something as minor as the tape flutter
being out of phase, even if both transfers were made on the same machine.
The reason they were not processed further in the pressing plant was
because people were still learning about the process and only noticed
the immediate vast improvement in perceived quality over vinyl.
