Did sleeve art become less important with the move to cassette then CD then streaming?
When you used to have racks of LP sleeves it was important to stand out. Seems bizarre now but I remember working in a record shop when people would actually browse. They would often bring a sleeve to the counter and ask if it was any good or if they could listen based solely on the cover art.
I don't think so. There are some beautiful CD-era covers that can rival anything on an LP. I don't think size equals importance.
I agree with this. Obviously a great sleeve design looks better with the bigger size that vinyl offers but then the same came be achieved with posters etc.

What kind of lawyer uses comic sans for a public release? Jesus fucking Christ, that should be grounds for disbarment.

Given that his publisher doesn't even have the book on their page doesn't inspire confidence in me.

Sure it's on there. It's partially disguised as "THE RETURN OF TWO DICK WILLIE" (The Rise and Fall of My Punk Rock Empire).

I hit stop loading before it's completely done. You should get the text, but not the subscriber nonsense.
