I just got this Anemos cd of SQs by Cristobal Halffter/Arditti SQ, and, as i was taking it out of the package, I noticed it was in the form of a book. When I took it out of the wrapper, I noticed bubbles (?) on the cover.

I turn it over (to check timings, or wotnot), and, and,... there are like pizza instructions (???) on the back cover. Then I read the instructions, and find out that this is the dust cover (!) of the "book", and that the "patterns" on the dust cover are actually STICKERS!!! that you can put on the book yourself, to make your own patterns! How fun!!

So, here I have a wonderful book-type cd, with a GAME on the dust cover! How cool is that? I'm beside myself.

I put all the stickers on the book cover, and, haha, then the OCD took over, and I analyzed and fretted over the position of the stickers,... FOR HOURS ::),...oy vey, indeed!! You should have seen the looks I was getting from the normies, haha.

Finally I couldn't stand it any longer and surgically removed most of the stickers, until I was then able to "live with it" (haha), and go to bed with a clear conscience (look, even I was getting tired of my own OCD over this, oy!).

Somehow I felt "bad" that i was defacing this "high class" cd of "high class" stuff by making these "baby" sticker patterns on the cover. Oh,...yes, i need help here, haha.

Apparently, all the cds on this label have the same MO. Check em out.

So, now I'm left with this dust jacket that's got all these "sticker holes" all over it, looking quite worse than when the stickers were on it. But I'm not trashing the dust cover just yet. It may come in handy when I contact Hamlet later in the afternoon.
