Its amazing how peceptions differ between different age groups. When I was working for this little indie label trying to do artwork for a band called The Dykeenies, the label's marketing manager had fought tooth and nail to get the budgets to package the CDs in little cardboard wallets as opposed to horrible CD single cases. She and I both believed that this was the thing to do, that it harked back to the quality of a record sleeve and stodd head and shoulders above a shitty J-card printed on nasty stock and shoved in a bog standard plastic case.
The band went nuts. They had no nostalgia for the days before CDs, these card wallets were to their eyes, a horrible budget nasty thing and not what a proper record label would do for their artist's music at all.
We were utterly flabbergasted. She had put so much work into securing the car sleeves.
- I like the sleeves compared to the jewel cases.juhls
- The artwork also looks better.juhls
- Agreed j and o. Jewel cases are nasty mass produced pieces of crap while the card wallets (when done well)...shitehawke
- ... have more of a hand made 'crafted' feel to them.shitehawke
- utter cunts don't know what's good for their street cred********
