Your post has me curious. What settings are you using in EAC? I'd like to try ripping my CD with the same settings. I only have the original Premonition pressing, but, it might still be interesting to see if it suffers from similar errors.

Going from memory I have EAC configured as follows:

I leave disabled the option that EAC will skip track extraction on a read or sync error. I similarly leave disabled the option that EAC skip extraction after X amount of time. Error recovery high (five bars on the recovery "meter"). (The error meter kept filing up with little red squares while ripping.)

Now that I think about it, these settings imply that EAC would keep trying forever. Yet it finally gave up.

I have never had EAC give up on any CD before.

But for having PlexTools to check the CD I would have no idea what was going on.

I think when she signed with Blue Note, they re-released it and attached their name.

Additional data point: my Premonition pressing of Barber's "Modern Cool" is also full of C2 errors. From 15 minutes in to about 18 minutes there are thousands of erros - an absolute mess. These two CD are the worst commercial pressings I have seen.
