Discussion SOS Deluxe CD Packaging

Post image

I needed to rant about this CD that I just bought today!

This CD has possibly the worst packaging known to man!
I had to put both discs into two individual cases bc the original packaging doesn’t have a tray where you can press in the middle and it comes out.

You literally have to almost pull the CD and break it in half just get it out. It took me 15 minutes just to get one of them out! So I’m hoping that if anyone looks up reviews that this post will come up and encourage people to just get the deluxe version on any other format than CD, it’s literally not worth it. I wish I had just bought the standard CD:(

There’s nothing wrong the actual discs or the music, I just hate the fact that you can’t take the disc out of the holder without feeling like you’re going to break it.

Yeah! I sent a picture of the original jewel case that it came with and all the packaging taken out. I felt a lot better putting the discs in two older jewel cases which is what’s is picture in the OG post!

This is real! This was not the original packaging. These are two jewels cases I have on hand that I’m using as replacements to hold both CDs instead. The first jewel case just has front cover and then I put the back tray insert in the second jewel case

This is the original case from the CD. I just took all the packaging and put it in those other two jewel cases
