     Here's more fuel for the fire:

     I've seen the SECOND cardboard-packaged CD in a store:  something by
Motley Crue.  (You can recognize these things because they are skinnier
than the usual CD.  Other than that, they look just like the "real" thing.
Notice they don't bother to put them in a transparent outer wrap, but in-
stead put them in the "cardboard box" style of holder.)

     The company is Warner (Elektra, Asylum, Reprise, Atlantic, ... get
the idea) that is "experimenting" with this packaging.  I sympathize with
those who suggest a total boycott, but will NOT participate (except not
to buy the offending CDs) since I dearly love The Doors, etc. and they
are released on a Warner label.  The same goes for the Eagles, Doobie
Brothers, Led Zeppelin, etc.)

                             -- Mike "I want my jewel boxes" McCarthy
                                (ihnp4!hpfcla!) mpm

P.S. As long as they don't put the music "I" want in cardboard jackets
I don't mind.  :-)
