In my opinion, this is absolutely unacceptable. Sounds like the masters =
had
bad burns... This is a result of poor quality burners or media or both. =
If
I provided CDs like this to my clients, I would not have any business
anymore. While quality checking every single CD isn't possible, there =
are
steps that can be taken to make sure this doesn't happen.=20

Was the recording delivered on a CDR or an actual glass-mastered (real) =
CD?
In CDRs, this is unfortunately a common occurrence with poor quality
workmanship. It is harder for this to happen with replicated CDs, but I
have seen it happen. (It is usually a result of a poor master being
supplied to the replication house).

The problem could also be a result of poor recording or post production. =
If
there were issues when editing and mastering this final released CD, you =
can
have all sorts of clicks and pops. These can be caused by computer/disc
problems, digital clocking, or processing problems.
