Who read the album covers?

   I didn't read albums and sleeves...I STUDIED them every time I played the album.

CD's(the packaging,at least)just don't have that feel to them.

	I do not usually read them, because I want them to stay as good as new forever But sometimes I must... specially my signed-by-all-band-members Mar De Robles' MdR album... just too good... Sometimes you get nice surprises reading them

	Definitely. In the mid 70's I discovered quite a few prog bands by reading album covers for info about instrumentation and track lengths. Somehow I managed to develop a sixth sense for what prog albums looked like, to the point where I bought some LPs solely on the basis of what the covers looked like.

	Ok people, feeling a bit nostalgic here. Own up who use to read the album covers/sleeves and the gumph that was printed on them. My mate and i used to read them every time we put an album on (prog or not), and used to try and put ourselves in the scenario of which the album was made (hope this makes sense). There must be people out there who know what i'm talking about. I kinda lost my way with cd's as the writing was too small to read, and the eyesight now is to bad to read.
