But so what. They were/are an enjoyment for ME. I        do not determine my purchases for my own use to be of value for        others.                      AA>> The "booklet" form isn't bad. But the print can be too        AA>> small. Some CD covers would "fold out" to a larger size,        AA>> but it tended to get annoying to get them back in place.               WD> Try that with "Thick as a brick". Or John Lord's "Gemini        WD> Suite", I bought thatone just for the cover.              Do not know Tull's LP, but the wiki on it sounds interesting.       Don't know the Jon Lord recording/package.                      AA>> I haven't heard too many stories like that. But I have        AA>> heard of artists losing the rights to their own material        AA>> due to some small print in their contracts.               WD> We've had that discussion many times and the majority of        WD> people, nearly all of them that is, do not understand. As        WD> an author you cannot sign-away or sell the creative rights        WD> of a piece of music, a book, etc... It stays.              OK. Ah.. the weakness of my own language.. I meant "losing the        control". Indeed, royalties continue.       --         ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.57        * Origin: Stare into this point intently ->.<- (1:153/757.21)       SEEN-BY: 15/0 105/81 106/201 124/5016 129/305 134/100 153/0 141 143       SEEN-BY: 153/149 757 6809 7715 203/0 218/700 840 220/70 221/0 6 226/17       SEEN-BY: 226/30 227/114 229/111 112 113 275 307 317 426 428 470 664       SEEN-BY: 229/700 240/1120 250/8 267/800 280/464 5003 282/1038 292/854       SEEN-BY: 292/8125 301/1 310/31 317/3 320/219 322/757 341/66 234 396/45       SEEN-BY: 423/120 633/280 712/848 770/1 100 340 772/210 220 230 2320/105       SEEN-BY: 3634/24       PATH: 153/757 280/464 770/1 317/3 229/426           |
