So I pick up Screaming For Vengence & Blizzard Of Ozz. Both fine albums. The huge NICE PRICE sticker seems to be spot welded to the case , but thats OK because I have 2 great albums here. I open them up pull the sleeve out to examine it only to find all I have is a copy of the album cover that seems to have no lyrics , no pictures , no info , no sleevenotes.... Nothing. Just a catalogue telling me which REO Speedwagon , Foreigner , Boston and Journey albums I can buy. Well great , thanks for that.

And the biggest irony of all : They're not a fucking nice price at all. they're about a quid less than a brand new release.

Fucking Sony.


I think cut-rate CD's in general should be included. Bastardized covers, that damn "CD-Rom" logo covering up the artwork, etc. Heck, stickers on the cases in any scenario. As you said, they're impossible to get off.
