Taking my cue from Tom, I e-mailed my problem to Berkshire and got an
immediate response advising me that they would have a response for me
"ASAP".  That was ten days ago.  I still haven't heard from them.

I've experienced similar problems with their 20-CD set of J.S. Bach's
complete organ works.  I haven't heard all the CDs yet (I still have two
more to go) and so far it's only occurred on one or two track(s) on each of
two disks.  I haven't notified Berkshire about this yet, and don't know if
I will.

Even if I don't fare as well w/ Berkshire as Tom did (which I strongly
suspect at this time), at US$2.00 per CD of well performed music that has
been to a large extent unfamiliar to me, I guess I don't have much basis
for complaint.
