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.Kory wrote: ↑26 Jul 2019, 12:37pmI don't think so. There are some beautiful CD-era covers that can rival anything on an LP.

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.
