>hey buddy, labels have been doing that since forever! Box sets, deluxe packaging, posters, even huge double LP gatefold posters/photos have been done since the 60s. If a totem isn’t your thing why don’t you just buy the vinyl or the CD format? You think sculptures are not art? Stick to your Celine Dion box set then!

Boo.
How about we use photographers, artists and designers to release books or booklets with actual art and info on the band that includes a download, cd or usb device instead of trying to find a new gimmick?
