Oddly enough, I've bought many cds just through hearing them first (yes, I'm being honest here), and part of what enticed me was the fact they've taken time over packaging. Simple.
I'm sure many of us have those dreadul reissues with 'nice price' or whatever slashed across a pointlessly small reproduction of the original album sleeve.
This is where the 'industry', I think, is getting is just deserts.
They serve us music like it's burger and fries to go, and the independents out there (who I'm sure see the net as their saving grace in many ways) recognise what people want and deserve.
My most recent one is this.

A beautiful little aesthetic and the music pleases my ears too (and is the source of my current avatar musings!)
Bigwig Record companies = soulless cretins.
