Favorite cd booklets

[Braighs]

For all you proud cd/album/tape owners...
Talk about your favorite booklets and art.

I'll start with the obvious one...
Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick
On the interview, they said they spent more time on the booklet than on the music! It was a very clever idea and some of the articles were a good laugh.

Strawbs - Grave New World
All the other remasters seemed to talk about band relevant things, but this one talked about their encounters with the queen of Hawaii and other sexy adventures.

Comus - Song to Comus: The Complete Collection.
This was crammed full of info.

Agalloch - Ashes... Box
I tried snorting it...

16 Horsepower - Secret South
I'm still looking for the secrets.

I don't own much, so I am interested in your favs.

November's Doom - The Pale Haunt Departure
Coheed and Cambria - IV

Great artwork on every page

A shame that the CD itself (Novembers Doom) is really average

I agree, Coheed and Cambria is just not that good.

[soundave]

Iron Maiden - Somewhere in Time

 

[Arjen W.]

I love the BWP artwork. The cover and booklet of THE by Ayreon is nice too, especially the limited edition.

 

[CAIRATH]

Madder Mortem - Desiderata
Radiohead - Amnesiac limited edition (the library book thing)

I'm sure I must have a bunch more but I cannot remember off the top of my head.

 

[soundave]

Led Zeppelin III (on Vinyl)

 

[narcoleptic haze]

Even for what little artwork there is for it (being that there is no booklet), I love the Espers II art.

The box set of Porcupine Tree's Stars Die, which I sadly sold off cause I didn't like the music, now miss it.

Mr. Bungle - Disco Volante. While inside the booklet isn't spectacular, all the outside colour art is fantastic, imo.

The deluxe edition of Keane's Under The Iron Sea, reminds more of a classic children's book. Very nice.

Sylvan's Posthumous Silence is really, really good too.

I love that Espers II Art too, i got it recently. It was lovely and actually felt like a bonus.

edit: Not booklet lulz. Just art.
