That is one of my pet peeves. Doesn't everyone realize that most CD's will end up out of their boxes in various kinds of CD wallets. Leaving off the title and track information so you can have a pretty picture is the triumph of style over function. Since we already have a monolithic oligopoly running the music industry, can't they at least provide us with one small benefit and set some minimum requirement for labelling?

Anyway, to stay on topic. One of my favorite possesions was a set of 4 or 5 vinyl recordings of Die Kunst Der Fugue (The Art of Fugue) by Bach. Unfortunately, the basement got wet and the vinyl got mildewed. I was unable to find the exact same recording in vinly or CD. I ended up picking up the Canadian Brass version, but it was not the entire work. Also, hearing what I had originally listened to as an organ work done in brass was a little too exotic.

The Art of Fugue has been done in brass, keyboard (organ and piano), and strings. For all I know, there may be an electic or acoustic guitar version. I'm still looking to replace the organ version I lost.
