You must be thinking of the recording industry executives cackling on the way to the bank.

Pretty sweet deal. Pull a tape from the vault whose production costs have already been paid for in LP and cassette sales. Have some hamfisted engineers “remix” it, run the result through a press, and sell the result for a premium. Call the packaging a “jewel”case to add to the perceived value. Stick the jewel case in a half-empty long box (old marketer’s trick).
Classical music buffs like me would then subscribe to trusted publications that reviewed and rated CDs in an attempt to avoid the clinkers.
