(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. :-)
