The front and back covers are always unique with bold colors, crisp fonts and beautiful full color photographs. The inside usually includes covers from other Wonderland releases for advertisement. It has now gotten to the point where the entire inside folder is simply duplicated and released as the same insert with various releases. Even though the inside folders are nothing more than photo advertisement of other releases, still, once it becomes a generic issue for all titles, the appeal slips. The discs are simple black and white silkscreens with the title and artist listed. As for the positives, this is a great performance with beautiful versions of Visions Of Johanna, To Ramona and Ain't Talkin'. As for the negatives, There is a better release issued by Rattlesnake. Some don't like digi-paks, and some might complain that only half of the available recording space on disc two is utilized. Worst of all, however, is the unforgivable fact that this release is presented TAO (track at once). As this is virtually unheard of with silver releases, it might need an explanation that at the end of every song there is a gap before the next song starts. Most CDr traders won't even accept this on a CDr... much less from a silver! All things considered, leave this one for the completeists © 2008 CD Pinkerton - bobsboots.com |
