I found this letter on page 23 of 'Music Week' dated October 29, 1983: “I NOTED in your October 8 issue EMI's apparent satisfaction with its recent pressing and distribution performance. On behalf of, I suspect, hundreds of frustrated dealers and thousands of dissatisfied customers, may I make my own comment — pathetic. It would be a good idea if "the greatest music company in the world" stopped resting on its laurels, and spent a few grand on some new presses for 12-inch singles. These have all but disappeared in recent weeks. GARY JONES, Domino Records, Portsmouth, Hants P01 4AN.”
