It is from the early days of CD when everyone was grappling with how to make the smaller size of sleeve work in visual terms.<br /><br />That particular CD design has long gone; to be replaced by a bland 'wall-paper' motif.Pliablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616598845886342325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-51740758283342603222009-10-24T10:46:29.619+01:002009-10-24T10:46:29.619+01:00Isn't that just because the size/ format of an...Isn't that just because the size/ format of an LP cover allows for far greater space? When original covers have been reduced in the past the result often looks "mean".Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09796782005917831269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-21910664379752825172009-10-23T14:12:48.639+01:002009-10-23T14:12:48.639+01:00Another email received:

The cover photo makes Heifetz look like Bing Crosby!<br /><br />The coupling is Bruch's <i>Scottish Fantasia</i> with Sargent and a London studio orchestra.Pliablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616598845886342325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-11953169911787300112009-10-23T13:38:05.007+01:002009-10-23T13:38:05.007+01:00Email rceived:
