music world rather than the recording world and have real experience
of these things.
Actually, Laurence has a point : those first 30 seconds better sound
amazing... (so should the rest of the recording, but those first 30 in
particular).
That's exactly right. When you have a large stack of recordings to
listen to, you'd better have good stuff up front.
