joshnich Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Would be interesting to add an age component. Unless you are of an age when LP artwork was actually designed and part of experience I’m not sure you re gong to get “informed” opinions! When end you think of Velvet Underground’s Lp designed by Warhol and the stones Sticky fingers or the Beatles white Lp and compare them to the back of a cd. .....seriously?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I think they can be artwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyrc Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Can be either or both. 4 hours ago, joshnich said: Velvet Underground’s Lp designed by Warhol Or The Nirvana Symphony ( Mayuzumi) with artwork by Yoko Ono before we knew who she was -- not the newer album, but the original Lp from before 1965 Who said, "I can no more define art than a terrier can define a rat, but we can both recognize the object by the reaction it causes in us?"

Coytee Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Or how about some of the Moody Blues covers?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windashine Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 .. I submit, No, using the indication that "merely" relate's to 46,872,941 CD's in a cheap plastic case, with a cardboard statement inserted, moreover, relating to the interesting read on the back of a jar of Ketchup.

Bosco-d-gama Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Well, if you consider the front panel to be ‘art’ then the rear panel is required to make the ‘work’ complete. Like the box the toy came in - the whole package should matter. As a side note my son at one time collected the entire set of ‘collectible’ Star Wars Pepsi cans, all unopened and still full of beverage. Rather than redeem them for the promo prize $ of $50 he saved them thinking their value would rise. Last I checked the collection still had not surpassed that initial prize value as many souls had done the same thing. And we learned that nobody wanted or cared about the drink itself. We were advised the drain the cans from the bottom to rid the caustic liquid and preserve the intact ‘pop-top’. So, are pristine CD cases worth more with or w/o a pristine CD? What about n.o.s. CD’s?

Schu Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 In this day and age of political correctness... it's all art. 😛 If I were to be brutally honest, the minority of special covers are actually art... the vast majority are merely artistic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJkizak Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Well you know since I'm sort of in the art world when I saw a French artist painting go for 60 million that was a series of parallel black and white stripes and nothing more I just shook my head in disbelief. I would prefer the chimp stuff which was much more interesting. There is another one of some guy masturbating in a wooden box that sold for big dollars. And that is viewable on the internet. You wonder about humanity? JJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rplace Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Pretty sure this was only on the back of first press LP and later removed but yes art in every sense of the word as much as a van Gogh. CD, meh but if original then yes integrial to the experience   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
