They used to do it with vinyl as well, as I recall; run your thumb carefully down the specially serrated sleeve edges, and hey presto you suddenly have an extra thumb with scarlet/crimson finish.
Also the irritating "pull off" title stickers which you get on the top of US imports and which NEVER come off in one piece.
I mean, what's the DEAL with this shrinkwrapping DEAL?

and re. marcello. shrinkwrapped vinyl - still sealed - is orgasmic.

The worst stickers are the ones Oxford Westgate library puts on its sale stock but that serves me right for buying all their ex-rental CDs and then realising that I don't like them and can't sell them. (Might go through all my unwanted but unsaleable cds and see if anyone on here wants them, but I'm not very good at getting round to stuff like that.)
I should try to remember to remove stickers as soon as I get cds, it's always bad getting to the second-hand record shop and deciding what you want to buy in exchange and then realising half your CDs have "Sale! 1.99" stickers on when you were hoping they'd think you'd bought them full-price.

It's an extra layer of security protection in stores, to stop thieving gits steal CDs.

Nono, tell her that selling the cds on rocks and I do love them really, it's just my fault I always think, "Hey! Only three quid! I must own all of these CDs by people I've hardly even heard of now!"
Oh, and congratulate her for having found the strongest, most inlay-card-ripping glue in the universe.
(I am strangely proud that in the time between the library getting the Ligament album and me buying it from them it was taken out for the grand total of one week, by, er, me. Hmm)
