SHORT TAKES : Mislabeled Discs Ring Sour Note
From Times Staff and Wire Service Reports
DALLAS — A manufacturing mistake has struck a sour note with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra.
The producer of compact discs for the Pro Arts record company mislabeled up to 1,000 compact discs, according to the orchestra’s music administrator, Victor Marshall.
“I found out about it when members of the orchestra bought the recording of Gustav Holst’s ‘The Planets’ to see how they sounded and discovered that they had bought a Christian rock group album,” Marshall said.
Many of the discs have been recalled, but Marshall said he still has 50 of them.
“I don’t even know who the rock group is, but I don’t really want to throw the discs away,” Marshall said. “I may string them on a wire and turn them into a mobile for my office.”
