I wrote to Hyperion and they exchanged the CD no problem.  However another
one I had on DG could not be exchanged because it had been discontinued.
This is the real worry especially if the disc is part of a set.  I wonder
what the record company would do in such a case.

These discs weren't 'bronzed'.  They just looked like normal discs in every
respect except that they stopped playing.  If bronzed discs are the ones
that have a golden tint to the surface then I have a number of these.  One
disc of Debussy piano music has played successfully in that state for 8
years.
