My copy of SHETLAND arrived today from the UK and also plays perfectly. Whew!
It is apparently a re-pressing (2nd pressing), not a long-lost cache of the original (but defective) CD.
I do have both. So I compared then side-by-side to see if one might be able to discern any difference.
To the casual observer, they jewel case inserts are identical.
BUT...if you turn the CDs over and compare the matrix numbers on the inner ring of the shiny side:
ORIGINAL [DEFECTIVE] PRESSING (2018): SILCD1571 11 A00
REISSUED [CORRECTED] PRESSING (2024) SILCD1571-V2 42 A00
I presume the "-V2 42" is Silva's way of designating "Version 2."
Music-wise, I MUCH prefer the original CD (series 1-4) over the new CD (series 5-8).
I liked the original musical approach (more melodic and ethnic, featuring alto flute, cello, and violin)).
The newer CD tends to drone on-and-on with a lot of electronics. It may suit the films, but no so much my ears.
But then I haven't seen past series 6, so take my musical opinion as somewhat uninformed.
To anyone still sitting on the fence, be thus advised and order away!

Thanks for the details Ron, I hope you didn't overpay for the defective CD or were able to get your money back in some way. So happy you've got this too - still waiting on my end.
As for the second volume, I've embraced it after many repeated listens, it's really grown on me. I'd love to get it on CD too, but am still just happy to have it digitally.
