[gui-talk] BMG music site

They weren't usually, Albert. Maybe that happened sometime or other that I 
never hapen to have sseen, but over decades of buying and playing LPs, from 
the introduction of the LP when it supplanted 78s all the way up through the 
mid-80s when I began buying nothing but CDs, and was more or less normally 
sighted all the while, I am thinking hard but can't visualize a single 
example of notes printed on the sleeve of a record. That's not to say they 
never held a design or a few words, but usually they didn't even have that. 
They were just plain white wrappers with cutouts in the center so you could 
read the label on the middle of the LP within. Honest. Would I lie to you? 
:-)

I'm thinking they were often written on the liners that held the records.

There weren't often LP liner notes "stuffed inside album jackets." Hardly
ever. The notes were printed on the back of the album cover or, if it was a
double album that opened, on both inside surfaces and maybe on the back as
well. I'm responding because you refer to "albums," a term that can casually

can mean LP or CD but in this context has to refer to an LP. Along with the
word "jacket," which is an LP feature. A CD package is a jewel box. But you
know that. Anyway, what do you mean?

I mean to their original glorious fullness like they were when they were
stuffed inside album jackets.

Albert,

what do you mean you wish liner notes would come back? Huh? Most CDs except
for chintsy third-generation "best of" albums have plenty of liner notes,
even booklets. Now, if you wish the notes could be found online in HTML or
text, or that all CD booklets were printed in such colors and fonts as to be

properly scanned by OCR products, that's another thing. But liner notes
haven't disappeared. Every CD I've bought the past couple of years has
plenty of notes. Some scan okay and some don't, and of course I regret when
they don't scan, as the notes on the backs of LP's and then in CD jewel
boxes were one important source of cumulative knowledge for me until I
couldn't read them anymore. But they haven't stopped being included with all

CDs. Maybe you're just getting pirate CDs from Moscow?

If I could see I'd like the cover art too.  I wish liner notes would come
back too.  Also, CD's are compressed as well compared to wav files.

Not to start an audio debate or anything, but even music compressed at
256 kbps like what Amazon offers for sale, is still compressed music.
It's not the real thing IMHO and I'd rather just pay for the CD with the
real cover art and the original recordings.

Of course, some of the music now-a-days is so over-modulated that even
compressed at 256 kbps mp3 is about the best you'll get, but still... I
guess I'm stuck on actual CDs from the actual recording companies <smile>.
