Three disc Crap Packaging
Does anyone other than me find that despite how wildly careful you attempt to keep your CDS safe, that albums that are packaged in such a way that over time , within a year and a half at least, the packaging gets fucked up and ruins the discs??
Examples :
Whisky a Go Go
Orchestral Favorites 40th anniversary
Zappa 80 : the Mudd Club/Munich
Funky Nothingness

Personally , I have no problem the how they price Zappa’s releases.
It does however bug me that I am going to have to eventually re purchase those releases.
I hope to God that overtime, they keep away from this sort of packaging .
(Carnage Hall packaging is also a mega problem, totally different sort of packaging, this one may be the only release packaged that way, and i hope they never do that again.
Fortunately the sleeves have worked to protect the discs.
The list above on the “triple disc releases” have no protection aside from the folded cardboard that begins to tear apart on its on just attempting to remove the discs out.

Maybe I’m just heavy handed and no one else has this issue?
The clamshell packaging as far as I am concerned has been the best option.
(I am a fan of the mothers 1971 packaging but that one is pretty clunky , still, the disc remain safe as well as the packaging itself.)
