How 'bout the Andrea Parker - Melodius Thunk CDS?  Brilliant dark red
letters on a dark green background make your eyes do some crazy stuff
while trying to focus on reading them.  You have to use a bright white
spotlight to read the info on that thing (or maybe a black light, as I
haven't tried that).

  I like quality cover art, but I feel it should go hand in hand with
readable tracks titles/production/writer info.  If one is going to make
these so hard to read, then don't include it at all.  Many pieces of my
vinyl collection have nothing but the artists name on it (if that!).
How
bout those MLO white labels?

Boy, I've spent many-a-time spliffing back and pondering the images on
this baby while its playing.  Aaaah, the good ole days   =;-)
