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! np:senor coconut:el coco baile On Tue, 9 Apr 2002, Randall Roberts wrote:
