Pet peeve: Stickers on CD albums

Hi,

Thought this topic would deserve an own thread. Anyone else here that thinks those stupid stickers the stores and record companies put on the CD's are just extremely annoying? The fact that it often is a hell to remove them don't make it better.



Really great album, by the way. I've thought of adding it to the "perfect albums" thread in the "recordings" forum here.


EDIT: Another related pet peeve is the box they put the CD's in when in the stores. They often prevent you from seeing what tracks there are on the album....

 

Sometimes. But mostly the CD's are just packed in a plastic case with some theft preventing stuff on them.

 

On the picture in the previous post, I doubt cassette was a step forward from the LP. At least not considering the version of the cassette that became the "standard"....

Back on topic: I don't mind all stickers; If they are graphically good-looking and containing some interesting information they can stay on. However, I hate price tags. If you look more carefully on the pic I posted in the original post, you see I had to struggle quite a bit to remove that one. I got it removed completely, but there's still there some adhesive left on the CD case that is really hard to remove. The other sticker may stay....
