I had no idea that Very existed in this particular format (the solid orange, Lego-like jewel case) until a few weeks ago (or if it did at one time, it’s long gone from memory). When it originally came into my life in 1993, I picked up the two disc set, Very/Relentless after hearing the Relentless portion at The Playground. Even that release was unusual, in that the discs were in cardboard sleeves inside a flexible, clear, embossed fold-out case. Very/Relentless was one of my most beloved discs and was actually the second CD I replaced (the first being Kraftwerk’s Minimum/Maximum) after I started rebuilding my collection a few years ago.
This particular copy of Very has issues. There are a couple of scratches on the disc, and the jewel case is missing all the splines that hold the disc in place, but what do you want for $8? Fortunately I found another copy for the same price last night that’s described as “near-mint” and is on its way. This copy will go in the trade/sell pile for my next trip to Book●Off.
So much for not posting as much, eh?
Very much agree. I had the orange case back when it first came out, but the CD collection was ditched (sadly) in one of my moves.
