I like to think of it as home...

Agree - I picked this Phil Collins set up for the missus and I think if packaged this way, it would make a nice set for someone interested in peripherally catching up with a particular artist you don't necessarily feel the need to get super invested in. I will also add I did NOT pay that much for it at the time!

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.
Wow! I think I bought that Phil Collins set in a local store for less than €20 a few years ago lolGabby wrote: Wed 25 Jun 2025, 4:36 pmAgree - I picked this Phil Collins set up for the missus and I think if packaged this way, it would make a nice set for someone interested in peripherally catching up with a particular artist you don't necessarily feel the need to get super invested in.

No, but perfect little recreations of the original sleeves. I think there were a few of these released by different Parlophone/EMI artists at the time. Crowded House I think had one.Gabby wrote: Tue 08 Jul 2025, 6:15 pmOK so I wasn't having deja vu! Or maybe I was.

Not gatefold though iirc.
Nice! That reminds me, they were double sleeves, so my guess is the gatefold would dispense with that and these would be more like the gatefold CD singles of late with all the appropriate inner sleeve blurb on the inside.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.
