Nostalgic CD Packaging

Saint Louis Black Repertory Company, CD packaging

This cd set reminds me of my mother's old record album sets. The sets were packaged in a cardboard box with each album in a brown sleeve, and, yes, there were places to write about the records inside the lid of the box. Even the cd labels are in the correct vintage style with era-appropriate font. Since this music will probably appeal to a mature, i.e. older, audience, I think the packaging is very clever. It will have great nostalgic appeal. I wouldn't be surprised if this set sold just because of the packaging
