Nevermind was the first CD I ever purchased. Ill never forget getting money from mowing lawns as a kid, going down to tower records and buying it.  Does anyone else remember how big those cardboard boxes were that CDs came in?

That said, pink Floyd was an obsession for me at one point. Gotta vote pink Floyd here.

[Pholy M. Pia]

Watched the Wall in as many states as I have ever been. Floyd is a life-changer for me and most of my friends.

- Cymbaline live 1971 proshot

That was awesome!

All of them were wastes except for the one that Junta came in. It featured Pollock art that isn't anywhere else.


It features Esther, Fee, Milly, and Floyd on it.

From the mid 80s until ~92/93 I covered the walls of my bedroom with cd longboxes.
That was one of them.

That shit all got recycled in the 90s.

The long boxes were seriously unnecessary.

The long boxes were seriously unnecessary.

They smelled like an environmental disaster but they were implemented so that record stores wouldn't have to get newer, shallower bins for cds.

[sls.stormyrider]

and - to make it harder to rip off cds.
someone had to invent those damn inventory control stickers.

[PIE-GUY]

RJ is right on this one... They were designed to fit record bins. Two long-boxes next to each other take the same space (but a bit thicker) as one record. An environmental mess, to be sure, but marketing genius. Without the long-boxes, CDs would not have taken off like they did. Record stores would have been reluctant to stock them.

The first time I did acid I listened to Animals and watched The Land Before Time with the tv muted. Needless to say, I'm voting floyd.

The Land Before Time?
