When I was in the record business, it was a major pet peeve of mine
for people to only listen to one label, or only DDD discs or any other
arbitrary exclusivity clause. It's too narrow and pretty silly. So, I
suggest that you develop loyalties to composers or performers, not labels.
Besides, DG has been a pretty dull label for the last few years, especially
in the US.
