Is "Industria Argentina" labelled Electric Ladyland by J. Hendrix any good?

What does "Industria Argentina" mean in terms of CDs?
Those CDs are produced/manufactured/made in Argentina?
Where does the master CD come from - from the MCA in the USA?
I guess that this is about cd pressings in Argentina.
What is the quality of those pressings as compared to American ones?

Case Study
The front and back covers on the jewel case of "Electric Ladyland" cds produced in
the USA and those labelled "Industria Argentina" look identical.
The same picture of Jimi Hendrix, the same type of fonts, the same bar code,
the year of production 1997, etc.
They are sealed in the same way as the American cds.
There's only one difference - those coming from Argentina are labelled
"Industria Argentina" under the bar code.

What about the sound quality of this particular "Industria Argentina" cd?
How about any other "Industria Argentina" labelled cds?

Argentina is justifiably proud of many of their homegrown products. In particular their food, wool and leather products are well known throughout the world and proudly stamped with the label “Industria Argentina”.

However a little known side effect of this is that this pride together with a hankering for protectionism means that many in particular cheaper products labeled Industria Argentina are absolute crap. .....

Look also here

(Note the amazon.com has some imported release - June, 2006.)



P.S.
Another example of Industria Argentina: Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here"

Somebody posted a while back about getting some Industria Argentina Dream Theater CD. IIRC the report was similar: it was inferior to the domestic pressing.

Sorry for re-open this thread but I wanted to give my opinion

 

I born and live in Argentina, and I'm 100% with this sentence:

 

"products labeled Industria Argentina are absolute crap"

 

The only "good" stuff are the women and food and THAT'S ALL

 

Every products (mechanical, electronics, etc) are crap, there are many samsung and sony TVs built in Argentina and they sucks, they have many less functions than worldwide TVs and cars too, there are many cars built in Argentina and they sucks too

 

There were only 2 examples, if I give you the feedback for every products built in Argentina, I will exceed characters capacity of the forum

 

Bruno.
