What's Spinning

You step on the jewel case? Are they using more flimsy plastic on the CD jewel cases these days? I have found that to be the case with cassette cases. The new cassettes cases are much thinner and thus more breakable than the cases from 30+ years ago.
I find jewel cases can be easily broken, especially when shipped as new. The used CD sellers on Discogs are generally much more mindful of careful packaging for shipping.

Rhino Hi-Fi reissue (2024)

Really interesting comp between these two. The 4MWB is pretty in your face sounding - bright and loud. It’s fatiguing but I like it - it’s a pretty good sounding record despite the reputation.

The Rhino has a way wider soundstage and way more bottom end. It’s tamer but still keeps a lot of the punch. I like and will just keep both.
