At the risk of getting myself into hot water, I must say that I've come
to the conclusion that anything resembling the words "world premiere
recording" on a CD should be ignored.  Sure, it -may- be true.  But in
my experience -nobody- checks at all and its a complete toss-up.

There!  That was nice and neutral, eh?  Eh?
