Neil Young: CD vs. LP

That reminds me, Stevie Wonder used to have braille in his liner notes. (IIRC Rhino's beautifully designed Ray Charles box set Genius & Soul - The 50th Anniversary Collection also had braille in its liner notes.)

With a few exceptions I think the CD era killed so much of that with standardized packaging. Once in a while you got something like Prince's hologram cover or Pet Shop Boys' Very (or the patchouli in Madonna's Like a Prayer), but otherwise I get the impression that universal utilitarian features like a jewel case and a booklet that can easily fit into the tabs made it trickier to do anything with packaging materials.
