It was a whole lost art for photographers and designers.  You just
can't do much in the small space of a CD box.  And you always need a
magnifier to read anything in the booklets.  I still keep my vinyl LP
collection, and the cover art (and sometimes inserts) are one reason.

One of my all-time favorite albums is Puzzle by Mandrake Memorial
from 1969.  Not only is the music spectacular, but inside the LP
sleeve was a round artwork inspired by Escher, a rollie-pollie that
you could put on your turntable and hypnotize yourself watching.

Bob
