Markering of CD Edges

I had the same question about using the Green on SACD's so I asked Mark Levinson, who makes SACD's.

He recommended the use of the Green pen.

I asked Nelson Pass and he recommended getting a really fine tip green
sharpie and drawing miniature Fred Flintstone heads all around the perimeter
of the CD edge. You may need a magnifying glass. There should be room for
about 178-187 Fred Heads on the edge of a CD if you're drawing him
correctly. Let me tell you, once the muscles in your hand finish cramping up,
you'll have a yabba dabba dooo time listening to your entire collection as if a
veil had lifted! If you really want to get ambitious Pass also suggests dotting
Fred's eyes with a blue marker instead of the green. Oh, and don't even
bother trying Barney, or Wilma, BamBam or Pebbles...it's gotta be Fred or it
won't make a damn bit of difference. This is otherwise known in the inner
circles of the High End as the "Fred's Head Mod". Now I know a
bunch of you are doing one of those hand to the forehead smacks as it all
starts to snap into place...that's what all those folks at CES were asking about
when they asked you, "Have you met Fred?" and "Are you a
friend of Fred?" or, simply "Got Head?" You wondered why
they dropped you like a wrong number when you didn't respond. Well, now
you know. When you're done, I'd suggest Gojo Natural Orange hand cleaner
for those green marker stains..don't stay up too late now. No, not Dino either.
Just Fred!

Marco, If i ever stop laughing I am going to try to fit 200 Fred's and 1 Dino on my cd's.

Jax2 - You neglected to point out that the Fred's head prismatic refraction refinement only works in conjunction with digital cables that have been soaked in Kosher Dill pickle juice and then dried at room temperature during a full moon while coiled counterclockwise within 10' of a sleeping virgin.
:) Happy Listening !

I spent last summer vacation with a box of markers and a bottle of Bubbies juice, but in the end the only discs that improved were the Freds themselves. I'm still smarting from not having the foresight to consider the consequence of making Limp Bizkit sound like Queen. An improvement? Hardly. I give this tweak a categorical thumbs down. Freddie's Dead, and I ain't going near no sleeping virgins with the pickle juice. You're really stretching my gullibility this time, I can just feel it.
