Buying music. Packaging.


The good the bad and the ugly.



'Plastic teeth' grief 


'Splintered corner'


'Unable to get booklet out' trauma

THESE ARE BAD THINGS



Cheeky Villagers. Nearly had me fooled with your cardboard cover.


This is better. The land of the reassuring cardboard sleeve.


Explosions in the Sky. With your crazy fold out house design you are really spoiling us.



 Personalized inscribing for CD's bought from the artist's website. It's a touch, Alessi's Ark. Good work.



 Extra special super duper editions that cost north of 30 quid? Not yet convinced. Any packaging that makes you not want to play the actual music for fear of depreciating the value is maybe going too far.

Music world. You have been told.
  1. Cardboard sleeves.
  2. Sign it.
  3. Don't go too far with your boxes, newspapers and collectable art cards.

  1. Following discussion with the Welshman in Worcester an issue needs to be addressed.

    Right then....never mind the packaging what on earth is going on with your filing system?

    Upside down and in apparent random, non-alphabetical 'order'.

  2. Its only when you've lost everything that you're free to do anything. [in terms of cd ordering anyway]
