What are some albums with interesting physical copies?

#F#A Infinity came with lots of cool stuff, including a penny crushed by a train.

Mutiilation has an album where the first 60 copies are covered in the artists blood.

everyone should listen to this crazy thang which was released on an sd card

Comfiest packaging ever.
Instead of a booklet, several photo cards are included per song, with the lyrics on the back.

The most interesting thing I ever got in a record was a comic book that came with this one. Probably not all that interesting comparatively but I was stoked on it.

Wow that's so fucking cool if you're a 14 year old anarchist like Efram still is mentally at like 50 years old

The Gerogerigegege album that was actually just a piece of squid in a CD case or the Merzcar one of one album that was installed into a car stereo and only played when the car was running

What year was that? I wonder if the interior art of Uchoten's Aissle was a reference to that

Menomena - Friend and Foe
Artwork had cutouts and the CD had designs on it, you'd turn the CD and it looks different. Nothing earth shattering but it was clever and unique.

Also their first LP had a flip book built into the CD case.

I haven't bought Japanese CDs in ages. Do they still do the thing where the first run is in special packaging with stuff?

>>127081455
Yep. Also bonus discs and extra shit if you buy at live shows

This album sounds really cool so far. Miss these kind of "indie" records with real drums and instruments and not just electronic echo throughout the whole thing

Absolute genius

I often wonder if Japan is the place to make music these days. Their entire music culture is still completely unaffected by western methods.

They still revere rock and jazz even in pop compositions. Guitars never vanished. And even punk is alive there.

Top tier thread
My favorite album packaging has to be the initial release of Public Image Limited's Metal Box, which came in said box and was just big enough that it damaged the packaging of the records that were right next to it on store shelves. About as punk as it gets, for better and for worse
