Title: Excellent recording; FAIL on packaging
Review: This is a great CD - the sound is crisp and clean. If you have an older CD, then this is the one to get.EXCEPT.Whomever decided to save a few bucks by replacing a jewel case with a cardboard sleeve should be taken out back. The point of the case is to PROTECT THE CD. A cardboard sleeve not only doesn't protect it, but it actually damages it. Wherever there's a seam in the sleeve, the CD will get scratched. Wherever the seam is glued, glue will leak out onto the CD when the package sits in a hot delivery truck.This is what happened to me. The CD arrived scratched and covered in glue. Fortunately, the damage was on the data track, so I had a chance to listen to the music before I had to return it.I will avoid buying any CD/DVD/BluRay that comes in a non-jewel case like the plague. Sure, it is eco-hostile (plastic never goes away, it just floats in the great garbage patch forever), but there's no point in buying a plastic disk only to have to return it.
