Coincided with the dying days of the CD era, meaning you'd find these in cut-out bins and charity shops for years to come, jewel case cracked, and once-white cover grubby and smeared...

entry level graphic design was a permanent meal ticket in the late 90s due to the sheer number of places that wanted a website made. a lot of these designers learned how to use Photoshop to “cut out” someone from the background of a photo, but didn’t have the actual illustration skills or creativity to add a new background once they’d done that. not that i have any personal experience with that.

I was working at a radio consulting firm when that Lisa Marie Presley album came out, and occasionally supplementing my meager income via promo CD sales. I sold an advance copy of that particular CD to some gonzo Elvis fan, on eBay, for an insane amount of money. (This was just a few days before the album's release date; I think the buyer just wanted the artifact). I had similar luck with a Def Leppard album, and something else I can't recall.
