In the past we have been able to log in and see the original scan of an article or a review. Now I seem to find only the OCR version, which contains the inevitable errors associated with OCR. Am I missing seeing this option on the page?  It used to be near the top along with Log In, Email the Article, etc. Has this option been removed?  Thanks.

Yes, I'm afraid it has – reasons explained in this thread.

RE: Not able to view the original scan of a review

Thanks for the link to an older thread; I had missed it.  One of the posters complaining of the inadequacy of the OCR text iterated the inaccuracies of the OCR text but also mentioned that large sections of the original review were often missing.  This seems to be the case with the review of the recital disc of Denyce Graves appearing in the December 1999 issue.  Look at this one, and you will see what the poster was talking about.  Perhaps this can be corrected.
