I think that the point is that when Capitol tries to charge a list price of
$70 for something, it should be of sturdier quality. I have burned copies of
all four CDs for my listening pleasure because the way the LP sleeve package
design is constructed, repeated removal of the discs risks scratching them.
They could have gone for more sturdy Digipacks with plastic hubs that would
have provided better protection for the discs themselves. The outer
packaging is so fragile that I have relegated it to the shelf. Mere everyday
handling of this "limited edition" will cause damage. Just wait and see.
