^^^^ is that an old school library check out card inside the cover?

Yep, signed by all the artists involved and personalized with the name of the person that bought it.

Still pissed I missed out on this. If anyone's looking to move one, drop me a line.

there's a store here in Norway which still carry that box..

http://www.platekompaniet.no/Musikk.aspx/LP/Eluvium/Life_Through_Bombardment_VINYL_-_7LP/?id=TRR119 hope that link works.

it's 2149 kr's which is something like $358 ... before shipping.

1. Does that colorful fold-out box say Portugal The Man? Please posts titles with your pictures. If they are good, someone's going to want to know.

2. Someone took away my pic with that of Montreal

3. The pic of the packing peanuts is great.

4. There's always going to be "better" stuff out there but for $1.00, this was a pretty awesome value:

That CD posted above is brilliant. I was going to start a thread like this as I'm in the process of starting up a CD packaging company with this design and a couple of others. The spine is a little thick on this version, it's been thinned up. This is a rerelease of Blakfish's See You In Another City EP on Big Scary Monsters records with bonus tracks made especially for their last show /100

As for favourite packaging I'd have to say Thrice's Alchemy Index is pretty great and this:

Meet Me In St. Louis/Secondsmile split single in handstamped sweetshop bag with black cd fake vinyl. Really simple but really nicely done

[scotterson]

The Extraordinaires have super awesome packaging for their cd's (handmade books with screenprinted cloth covers and library cards) and their 7" split (a screenprinted board game)

[mariawithoneeye]

This is nice as well:

how the hell did I forget about this one? they did a great job on this release

[swoopdog]

might as well contribute with one of my favorite albums:

Eluvium - Life Through Bombardment

Thanks, but ouch! I saw a couple copies on GEMM, but the lowest is $260. IIRC, that's more then double what it originally sold for. Not interested in ebay prices.

[liarsenick]

along with the above mentioned Takk... and Meanderthal:

Thrice - The Alchemy Index (even if it took 9 months to make)

YES.

[steveooo]

If that's not from Deadformat we're going to have to have words about what your were doing in my parents bedroom

[smailtronic]

Does anybody have this? It's Heliocentric by The Ocean Collective. The first 2xLP just came out and the other's coming out in the fall.

Simple and sweet, but still different enough to stand out.

Also, the armband it comes with is sick too.

[immigrationproblem]

Haarp/Thou split. That's a 24 page booklet of pictures and some writings stapled to the cover and a screenprinted poster of medieval soldiers of Baton Rouge facing off against New Orleans

[killyourfase]

You guys should check out the packaging that dude from Nuclear War Now! does on his releases. Not a fan of a lot of the bands, but holy shit the packaging/layout on some of his releases are intense.

[mike]

fucking die-cut vinyl.

[kilotango]

From DF:

[gristlejaw]

Floor Box Set

Clutch Strange Cousins From The West 2xLP - die-cut, tri-fold, foil stamped badassedness.

[riddle350]

well fuck me

[apeman]

Autechre - 'Oversteps'. My favourite at the moment.

Simple and elegant. Sturdy slipcase box with two separate sleeves for the lp's and even a sleeve containing just the huge poster insert.

[stoiker]

Almost every package in the thread is fucking kick-ass!

I take back my previous post. This is definitely my favorite:
