If Bobby Morrow and Jarleboy knew about this (and they may well do) they’d be ordering minty new ones. They’d especially apprepriate that it’s a latter day look (though still quite risque with that sheet thin leopard print shoal), and not some aerobic slut outfit from her TRASHY WHORE phase!! |

I'm too young to remember longboxes (per wikipedia, phased out April 1, 1993, shy of my 2nd birthday.) But of course, I've spent many time in used record stores, and never once saw an old longbox. I can only assume that, unlike the obi, the longbox's cumbersome presence saw it quickly thrown out along with the shrink wrap. |

I can only assume that, unlike the obi, the longbox's cumbersome presence saw it quickly thrown out along with the shrink wrap. The lower half of the box was entirely hollow. I used to literally rip the box right in half to get the CD out, simply because it was easy to do so. It would have given the typical SHite apoplexy to witness. |

Some years ago, when I had a low level (and shitty) job working in the concert biz, I learned firsthand that Barry Manilow toured with a huge supply of life-size cardboard cutouts of himself. What he would do is send the cutout over to the room where the riffraff who won radio contests to "meet Barry" were gathered. Weirdly, the fans seemed just as thrilled to pose for photos with the cutout as they would have been if the great man had deigned to bless the room with his real presence. Manilow was a real paranoid nutjob. He would lock himself in the dressing room, terrified of having to interact with anyone (including his own band) because "look what they did to John Lennon!" The other thing I learned is that the roadies did a brisk business selling the cutouts to overzealous fans for astronomical sums. This was, of course, officially forbidden, but who can blame them for being enterprising? Last meet and greet I went to was done in virtual reality. |

I bought my first CD in 1992 when I was 10. The fucker came in a longbox. It was stupid then and it is even dumber now wanting to collect that useless garbage.

If you had even a little talent at distraction, the longbox made stealing CDs easy. I'm an old bastard from the 90's. Do explain! |

I would never do such a thing, mind you, but you could open the CD end of the longbox with a fingernail while pretending to browse. Then put the box back in the rack upside down. Realize that you "accidentally" put the box in the wrong place (which happens to be the row closest to you) and lift it back up from the rack. The CD slides out the bottom of the box which gives you a chance to lean over and put it in your waistband as you stretch to reach the back row where the longbox belongs. Then get the hell out of there. Or so I've heard. The precursor to downloading. Fuck, CDs used to be expensive. One good thing about the vinyl craze is that CDs have gone done in price. |
