Chaotic Neutral Cd Packaging - Jewel Case Or Digipak?

[Moonlight_Graham]

I'm wondering what kind of packaging the CD is being sold in, or at least what you members of The Bored of seen it in so far?  Is the CD sold in a plastic jewel case or a cardboard digipak?

[Jessafur]

I saw it in a digipak at my work (I work at a London Drugs computer department for anyone curious), so I would imagine most if not all are in digipaks.

Digipak from hmv.

Received mine today, it's a digipak.

I got the digital download. Can someone post the notes/credits? Really annoyed they didnt give a digital booklet with the download. Always love reading who plays on what songs and who the artist thanks.

Tell me if you want the songs too, there's not alot to them.

All You Sons & Daughters,
Matthew Good: Vocals, Guitars
Blake Manning: Drums, Percussion
Bones Hillman: Bass
Anthony Wright: Piano, Keyboards
Warne Livesey: Keyboards

Etc...etc

Crap....wish I ordered from Maple Music now instead of picking it up in-store.

I read in another post that the MM version came with a booklet with lyrics, but the poster corrected themselves (there is a booklet but no lyrics). So I'm happy once again with my store-bought copy :)

That was a mistake, no lyrics, my bad!

[Crusader]

We've had my misheard lyrics for months folks!!

[Outtahere]

And the lyrics are on MG's site anyway.

I got my copy in today and it's signed!! I also got someone else's copy, so if anyone knows anyone from Virginia who didn't get theirs, let them know I probably have it. (I already sent him an email though, so hopefully he'll get his copy soon)

There's just something about having a hard copy of lyrics in liner notes. You should see my Underdogs, BM and Avalanche CD's lol. They've been "handled" many many many times. :)

Oh I definitely agree!

 

Plus, in the past, with WLRRR as well as other bands who have put their lyrics on their Websites, I've seen typos and wrong lyrics. Nothing major I know. But I do get and commend the decision of not printing lyrics. Not only is it cheaper for the artist but it's better for the environment (and, let's be honnest, lyrics are read a couple of times until you learn the whole song and then the booklet is never opened again :P) 

[Prairieboy]

Remember the BM liner notes....how if you held it up to the light at a certain angle you could see parts of lyrics that were printed in a kinda "invisible ink" font (I don't know how else to describe it)?

Yes! Ahh those were the days.

[Moonlight_Graham]

In this day and age, if I go out and spend $15 or whatever on a CD when I could very easily pirate it because I want to support the artist at the very least give me the damn lyrics in the booklet...it only amounts to about an extra 11x8" page of paper.  I call bullshit on "we want to save paper for the environment, go online" stuff, it's usually about reducing production costs by the record company.  They're even missing all the lyrics to "Cloudbusting" on mg.org for fuck's sake.

 

Oh and thanks for the replies everyone.  Mine's also a Digipak from HMV.

Edit to above:  I now realize that "Cloudbusting" is a cover song and therefore Matt may not have the rights to post the lyrics on his website, or they can be found elsewhere, so forgiven.

[Manchalivin]

Agree wholeheartedly, Moonlight. Their "reason" for not including the lyrics in the booklet is utter nonsense.

It's the same for Moon Over Marin/True Love in the lyrics book. Just gives the songwriters.
