100 cd albums with colored jewelcases

26. Asobi Seksu - Citrus

https://www.musik-sammler.de/cover/1180500/1180494_1_1455817661_300.jpg

Swap my earlier submission (#18) for Royal Trux - Hand of Glory (black opaque jewel case with sticker on front tray).

27. STNNNG Fake Fake

https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a2546654897_16.jpg

This was a band I played with, CD was in a red jewel case, the artwork was an anaglyph, when you looked at the artwork in the jewel case it was all skulls/blood/etc, then when you removed the case the actual artwork was ice cream cones, little funny animals, etc. I think you might have had to physically disassemble it in order to get to the song titles & credits and if that isn't the case it is what we should have done. We did manage to duplicate it for the LP release as well.

^that's cool

This is a good topic... trying to think of any others I've owned, without actually digging thru my CDs. That Lou Reed one up top, for sure.

28 E.A.R. - Continuum - pretty great album that would be fun as a vinyl reissue actually

I think those are just colored trays(?)

True. It was novel at the time.

13. Boredoms, Seadrum / House of Sun, screenprinted opaque blue case

I have this one, too (I cheated and pulled out my "B" stack b/c I thought there'd be at least one other Boredoms example, but no)

xp — I'll try and overcompensate:

Have we quit numbering these?

Some of those look like colored tray only? (After being tripped up by it myself, I’m now the tray-only cop!)

https://www.frogworth.com/jewel/skampler.jpg
Obligatory cracked case of Skampler that every IDM fan from the mid-'90s owns/owned.

Tsk, coloured tray is enough for them to escape the CD case armageddon (oh yeah images ded on that post) but I do apologise for breaking protocol.

Alice In Chains: Best Of The Box

https://www.discogs.com/release/572242-Spiritualized-Royal-Albert-Hall-October-10-1997-Live/image/SW1hZ2U6MTk0NDEwOTA=?ev=rr

spiritualized at Royal Albert Hall (solid orange with a slipcase)

their "Volume 1" is solid white with a slipcase. there was a volume 2 as well which might be the same

(and Pure Phase came in a luminous box but not strictly a jewel case)

Hector Zazou - Sahara Blue

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ChbYqm0aL._SX355_.jpg

The coloring is actually marbled, though you can't tell in the picture. I can barely see it in real life, and I'm holding the jewel case up to the light as we speak.

XTC - Transistor Blast box set of BBC sessions

^love it.

Turns out I get the Morphine Rykodisc too, it doesn't work quite as well compared to Josh Rouse, in fact it's a mess (with Rouse I thought it was a one-off intentional thing).

Benga's diary of an afro warrior is another solid black one (with a slip case)

Tinted, um, aquamarine I guess.

Pet Shop Boys - Release

been having a dig around my collection, and remembered re this one :

https://www.discogs.com/release/97265-Pet-Shop-Boys-Release

the jewel is all white, with the band/album title embossed on the front.
and then there were different editions with different coloured cardboard slipcases.

Snoop Dog - Bush

https://www.discogs.com/release/6987961-Snoop-Dogg-Bush

Blue jewel case with cardboard slipcase with the actual cover artwork.

and i think thats all of them from my collection ..

Automation - Dub Terror Exhaust
(Laswell alias)

out of everything mentioned on this list, this is one of the cds i really regret not buying.
i spotted it when i was in one of my 'bill laswell ? nahhhh .. ' phases and so did not get it.
an experience i have learnt from,
i.e. i now buy stuff when i spot them in my charity shop adventures, knowing i may not like it now, but at some point i know i will.

If just the back counts:

Can we also use this thread for things found in the spine?

https://i.imgur.com/8hOSgaQ.jpg

wow!

I remember a very obscure cd r label from the Netherlands who put q-tips in the spine.

Can't find a picture, but L.A. power pop band Sparkle*Jets UK's "Bamboo Lounge" CD came with a cocktail umbrella in the spine.
