Hidden Cd Backs?

[Akarik]

I bought the Limblifter album awhile ago and while listening to it I happened to look through the little hole in the centre of the album. I noticed a small picture , so I decided to try to take the back off to see what it was. I gave up afterwhile but then realized I could see it if I just held it up to the light. It was a Lord Of The Rings type picture with the song titles in the place of names. Has anyone else noticed this or other cd's?

 

The only other thing i've seen like this is Weezer's Pinkerton, but it's just a map and a little blurb about the ship the album's named after.

They love doing that. Though I haven't seen many.

They ususally use a clear piece of plastic, some bands are on a tight budget and have to use an inexpensive, coloured piece. However, its a nice touch.

i foud one on tool's undertow back in the day when they weren't released with a clear back

[here is no why]

The Smashing Pumpkins - Pisces Iscariot.... if you hold the back up to a light you can see Billy Corgan.

[SolidEric]

Speaking of Pinkerton, if you look at the tracklist on the back, you can make out a faint image of a Geisha girl. It's a little creepy.

matt good has that poem on the back of his avalanche album cover

On the edition of Beautiful Midnight I've got on loan from the libary, there's some text on the back of the Cd... I should try and see what it is.

 

EDIT: some things are better said with the lights out.

They're all different.

 

There are several different sayings, 5 to my count.

...since when do libraries rent out CD's?

The Toronto Public library does.

 

I'm using it to expand my CD collection without having to spend money on actually buying CD's. You'd be surprised how many CD's you can find.

[Akarik]

Yeah, the only reason I got interested in Matt Good was because I borrowed Beautiful Midnight from the library.

 

And my back of it says There are some things better said with the lights out as well, but the library copy simply says Hello Time Bomb.

[cavalier_eternal]

why don't you guys check out disorientation's trouble bunch for all matt good related album stuff...

 

or just matt good stuff.

 

hah.

 

hmm...

 

edit: my local library rents cds, for a $2 fee. i think the fee's gone now though. they don't have much selection. i got some smashing pumpkins a while back though.

I'll assume there aren't many pearl jam fans on here but if you picked up a copy of Vs. early on. (early is like when it came out, easily identified by the lack of the title on the spine) the cd came with a black tray that obscured artwork underneath. I understand newer copied have a clear tray but since I take care of my cds Ive never had to replace Vs. Vitalogy on the other hand, I'm on my third copy of that record.

Radiohead included a book of strange drawings behind the CD with KID A. But only the first copies.

[sedated19]

I've got the Matthew Good band promotional copy of underdogs, and on the cd it says "Promotional copy only! If you paid money for this cd, you're a loser"

 

haha

[CaptainRocket]

Pinkerton has a map of Japan with Weezer related names and things on it. The album was inspired by Madame Butterfly, hence the map, cover art and Geisha girl.

...and because of that Japanese fan letter in Across the Sea I guess...

The whole design is on the website, where you can listen to the songs. I just bought the album today.

Their drummer Brent drew it.

I never knew that, thanks for letting me know.
