unmarked HDCD's


I have been digging through some cd's lately and have found a few that are NOT marked as HDCD encoded, but when I play them the HDCD indicator on my Toshiba SD-3109 dvd lights up. I thought liscensing required all HDCD discs to be marked. For example, 4 discs that I have found: Faith No More- Who Cares A Lot(the greatest hits}, God Lives Underwater- Life In The So Called Space Age, Live- Secret Samahdi, and Danzig- 6:66 Satan's Child. None of these cd's say anything about being HDCD on the jewel case or in the booklet. The Danzig cd is the one that really surprised the hell out of me. He's not known for auidiophile quality heavy metal by any stretch of the imagination. Has anyone else found some cd's that are not marked?

I realize there isn't much interest around here in Latin Jazz (my favorite music!;) But Cuban sax virtuoso Paquito D'Rivera embraced HDCD and released over 1/2 dz.  Also, West coast bandleader and master percussionist John Santos & his Machete Ensemble released a bunch.  Fantastic music for the more adventurous music-lover!
