These CDs contain music from other CDs or from vinyl. In the composition of the CDs much attention was paid to the sound quality of the recordings: Original vinyl albums often sound superior in comparison with commercial CDs. If a CD contains recordings from vinyl, this is indicated with the label HQVS.
