Super Jewel Box?

Any of our European-based posters familiar with this rollout from Universal?

New three-tier CD packaging

[Kevin Bresnahan]

The Super Jewel Box has been used to house most retail SACDs for many years. It is far more robust than the standard jewel case but replacements are far more expensive.

Quite frankly, I'd be more worried about the "Basic" packaging mentioned in the article. As the article states: "Basic – for older albums, offered in a new, streamlined slide-pack CD case, designed for "just the music" with minimum packaging – comparable to paperback books". To me, this sounds like every Jazz release will be "basic". Jazz rarely sells enough to justify "deluxe".

This is the box used by most companies issuing SACDs.

Ah--okay. I recently purchased the hybrid of Big Star's #1/RADIO CITY, and I think it's housed in such a unit. I'll take a closer look at it when I get home from work tonight.

I dislike them. booklet extraction and replacement are a pain and I hate the "lock".
