>Typically, "golden master," the instance of a software package or 

s/golden/gold/. Whether it's actually gold depends on the type of 
coating and pigment used in the disc layer. May as well be azo, cyanine 
or phthalocyanine. Really golden discs like in the old days (1995) are 
rare these days (most switched to azo around '98, and then to 
phthalocyanine during the inet boom) because cyanine is unstable over 
the years.
