Mine's okay...
just poor materials used in production. I saw an article on this long ago, some just loose data, I lost 3 discs that way. all HRSorry to know both Cap'n and Mark have deteriorating discs.
Checked mine , all the Yes DVDA'S and 1 blu-ray I own , and they're fine .
Just a guess , but it might be a tiny bead of sweat got into a gap or opening at the edge .
So for me I'll be extra careful here on in .
You have to Open your Eyes to see the rot, I guess, and to check you're not making a Magnification of the damage. I would happily Fly from Here to inspect the disc myself, but I fell of the Ladder and cannot get out of home.So the Yes album is fragile, and the damage is close to the edge? I for one am grateful to the relayer of these tales of drama; I do appreciate the union of like-minded fans here. I know I'll be going for the one I own to check it for damage. If I find any, I'll be sure to talk about it.
God damn it, it's 4 AM. Again.

Holy crap I just noticed I was this close to putting all those puns in chronological order.
Damn it. This is gonna bug me all day.
Not necessarily a moisture thing of course- I seem to recall that some of the laser rot that afflicted early CDs was put down to the bleaching agents used in the paper of the labels and booklets. Trapped in the jewel case, the sulphur or chlorine given off by the paper migrated through the polycarbonate (which is more porous than you might think) of the disc and attacked the metalised layer. Supposedly all such inserts were subsequently made of unbleached paper - perhaps that lesson has been unlearned?
SO I should get rid of all the white paper cd/dvd envelopes I just got for my disc collection?
