Re: CD covers"
Can't say that I take much notice of CD covers but I know that when I first started to collect LPs the lovely pictures that appeared on the covers of many issues - Philips Classical Favourites were particularly enticing in this respect - often determined my choice of which version to buy (and I still find it hard to banish the thought of lovely Autumnal scenes when listening to Brahms because of the influence of those issues). Luckily with such artists as Walter, Beecham, Ormandy, Francescatti and Ormandy among the artists I usually got a pretty good performance for my money too. I still tend to prefer LP issues of opera sets where I don't have to squint my eyes to follow the libretti. Decca's SET issues certainly had some handsomely produced booklets included with the discs.
