Rooster_Ties Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Just purchased new copy of "Brown Rice" on CD from Dusty Groove, with the following cover (in a jewel box) from Germany (the back says "West Germany")... I used to have this on CD many years ago (a friend begged me to trade it to him, and I did), but with a different cover -- specifically this one... What I can't remember (and this is mighty trivial, I know) is whether the older issue came in a Jewel Box, or if it was in a Digipack?? My vague memory is that the older issue (the one with the 2nd non-"Jazz Heritage" cover, and the more complete cover photo) came in a Digipack. I now have an opportunity to trade my new issue for my buddy's old one (that was once mine). But as much as I like the full (original) cover, I really dislike Digipacks (even more).

Bluerein Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Good possible it was a digipack (one of the first series which had these) There was also a Ornette Coleman (red sover with a mask) in these series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as much as I like the full (original) cover, I really dislike Digipacks (even more). Man, I gotta say that the original, non-cropped photo is really nice - love the trees. The music I never cared for, to be honest, though Don Cherry is among my favorite artists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 (edited) I've got the original digipack per the lower photo - bought around 1989/90. There were a few of them in that format - Billy Hart's 'Enhance' for example. Edited February 17, 2008 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 The digipack replicates the LP cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bakeostrin Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 I have a few digi pack issued CD's from A&M, including "Brown Rice"; "The Age of Steam" by Gerry Mulligan (also replicated in the jazz heritage format with smaller cover shot; a Wes Montgomery, a Jim Hall (I forget the title, but I have never seen it in jewel case and two Chet Bakers ("The Best Thing for You"; "You Can't Go Home Again" since reissued in a double CD, I believe). It appears to me that the Watts Towers appear in the background of the "Brown Rice" cover; see also Harold Land's "Harold in the Land of Jazz" which also features the covers. Put me in the I hate digi pack camp also; I do not mind so much the folding paper covers (such as used in the Verve elite series), but packaging with the plastic spindles affixed permanently to the CD are a horrible idea in my view--very fragile.

AndrewHill Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Good possible it was a digipack (one of the first series which had these) There was also a Ornette Coleman (red sover with a mask) in these series. Can confirm the Ornette, Dancing in Your Head, was a digipack as I have a copy. Lousy because there's no notes included (as best as I can tell) but at least you get the whole cover unlike the Verve reissue which gives you a tinier version of the original cover on the front of the booklet.
