In this digital age its easy to forget just how cool CD/vinyl/whatever packaging is.
From gatefold vinyl to sculpted CD cases. I love them all.
I remember when I ordered the Geogaddi book CD when it came out and it arrived with those postcards and stickers. How I loved it all. The feel of the book, the images. And the poster that came with Campfire. That was great.
And I especially like the smell of paper. You know that matt finish, tracing paper like smell.
Agreed! The whole look and feel of a CD or LP release from an artist/band/group is very much a hugh part of the whole experience of enjoying music! I'm well into my adulthood, (around the age of the Sandison brothers) and to this day, I still get extremely excited on different levels when a band that I appreciate is about to release a new CD/LP. I still look forward to buying new releases and having the experience of viewing the artwork & hearing the music in a completely fresh and new light. This will always be a very important aspect of collecting music to me. Boards Of Canada are to me the quintessential artists as they are bang-on, (or spot-on, depending where you're from) musically and visually as far as I'm concerned.
I really love digipack cds for some reason. It's just something different that your typical old jewelcase. Milieu's Our Blue Rainbow packaging is really cool and origional.
there is nothing worse than a dvd that comes in a plain dvd case with no inner sleeve and a blank disc thats says side a full screen side b wide screen.
