Brilliant site, loads of inspiration on there.

Thanks for posting.

Cor there's so many of those I own and I had no idea that they were all done by this one company !

Yes this is a fantastic site

Been browsing it for years, it first got my attention when I was searching for photos of The Hafler Trio's ridiculous Exactly as I Say deluxe edition (the one that came wrapped in catfish...)

It's excellent to see someone out there who not only takes the packaging of music as seriously as this but also photographs it beautifully and catalogs it for people who may not have seen or even heard of these releases before. And in the case of that absurd h3o release, very few of us are ever likely to own it so their gorgeous photography is probably as good as it's going to get!

It's missing a few, such as Soisong's CDs, but overall this website is amazing! I've been looking through it for quite a while now.

You're right, really beautifully produced packaging that adds an even greater aesthetic to a release is just plain boring

i just listen to the music, dont really care about the graphic design bullcrap.

I visit this site at leat 4 to 5 times a month for inspiration. I'm designing a few releases right now and will submit it to them in hopes that they will feature it.

maybe that explains why i dont really like that much.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
