 AA>> About 1200 LPs, and about 500 45s here.

 WD> And then when you pass, your next of kin will get rid of
 WD> it in the trash bin.

Perhaps.  But so what.  They were/are an enjoyment for ME.  I  
do not determine my purchases for my own use to be of value for  
others.


 AA>> The "booklet" form isn't bad. But the print can be too
 AA>> small. Some CD covers would "fold out" to a larger size,
 AA>> but it tended to get annoying to get them back in place.

 WD> Try that with "Thick as a brick". Or John Lord's "Gemini
 WD> Suite", I bought thatone just for the cover.

Do not know Tull's LP, but the wiki on it sounds interesting.
Don't know the Jon Lord recording/package.


 AA>> I haven't heard too many stories like that.  But I have
 AA>> heard of artists losing the rights to their own material
 AA>> due to some small print in their contracts.

 WD> We've had that discussion many times and the majority of
 WD> people, nearly all of them that is, do not understand. As
 WD> an author you cannot sign-away or sell the creative rights
 WD> of a piece of music, a book, etc... It stays.

OK. Ah.. the weakness of my own language.. I meant "losing the  
control".  Indeed, royalties continue.
