can you give a few ferinstances of completely illegible tDR sleeves? i
really can't think of any.
i mean, these are the guys who do the purple warp sleeves that simply
list the artist and track titles. it doesn't get much more basic than
that. i dunno. i've always thought that tDR's stuff was great in that the
design element was very cool, but you still knew what you were listening
to. i just can't recall missing a tracklisting anywhere.
perfectly willing to be corrected and/or put in my place,
alan!
