Packaging of CDs
I know I'm going to get slated for asking this but... I have just realised that Stand By: Light Coming... is only the second CD I've bought this year that has come in a plastic jewel case. So far this year I've bought over 50 CDs so 2 is a very small proportion, but the norm seems to be card packaging, I believe. Is card environmentally friendly and plastic not? I'm no expert! I have noticed though that some of the multi CD sets have plastic inserts, but conversly a lot are boxed with cardboard sleeves for the individual items. Most single CDs I've bought seem to be card in card.
I ask readers; what is your view?

Yes, I guess that being part of an established (?) 'record company' enables them to better promote your music and to put your cds out in a more eye catching package, and with a lyric booklet. ie; the digipak option.
I always feel that knowing the correct lyrics (from the booklet) makes the album seem even better.
Obviously this is a cost that Bill can't commit to with only producing a small run of cds.
