Creative control and/or giving a s#it. Looks like the other bands just didn't care about the design of these sets.greenmile wrote: Tue 08 Jul 2025, 7:31 pm Yes, thought there were a few more of these. Nice to see PSB getting to design their cover in their own unique style.

The first card sleeve CD singles in the late 80's came with 'cloth' protective inner sleeves. Most Japanese card sleeve issues still come with plastic liners. You can buy them easily online.petshopgrrl wrote: Wed 25 Jun 2025, 3:48 am Perhaps it's more appropriate to think of these as pressing new copies for newer fans or anyone else who can't get the originals any more and don't just want to rely on streaming, but they're now packaged in digisleeves, not jewel cases.
For everyone complaining about damaging the CD as it slides in and out of the sleeve, no doubt there will soon (if there isn't already) be a business in creating mini liners for digisleeves, like a vinyl inner sleeve.
Personally I prefer a cardboard sleeve over a hard plastic jewel case. I've had enough of the darn things break on me over the years. The digisleeve feels more environmentally friendly even if the CD itself still isn't.
Really? That's quite a revelation.tottenhammattspurs wrote: Wed 09 Jul 2025, 1:41 pm Rent and Heart came with the cloth inner sleeves for their cd single releases.
Yeah I'd like to see a photo of that. I picked up the CD singles later (I think there was a re-release of card sleeved singles circa 1993. I didn't own a CD player until '93 so had to play catch up)daveid wrote: Thu 10 Jul 2025, 12:01 amReally?

Same here, bought them about 1995. No inner dust sleeve but the sleeve for Heart and Rent were significantly larger than some of the others.Gabby wrote: Thu 10 Jul 2025, 5:34 amYeah I'd like to see a photo of that.

Discogs suggests the Heart re-release still came with a dust jacket so will have to check.
It's a re-release of the original CD, not the LP, so the design is exactly right.ElectriCity wrote: Thu 10 Jul 2025, 9:59 am http://youtube.com/post/UgkxqlAOrp_z2fK ... TFrg8JmBkS

Interesting, I was a late adopter of CDs so I've never come across "cloth" inner sleeves for pre-recorded CDs before. Are they like that fabric that you'd get inside those little CD album zip cases? I'm guessing they swiftly got dropped on grounds of cost.
