I just love this, designed for Chromatics (Italians Do it Better label) by Jim Penola

I've just received my special edition of UNKLE's 5th studio album 'Where did the night fall', I'm not entirely sure the artwork is to my taste, I kind of miss the Futura 2000 but the quality of the product is exceptional. I've included info and photos below taken from the Creative Review blog.

The package (art directed by James Lavelle, Ben Drury and Warren Du Preez and Nick Thornton Jones), includes a booklet of song lyrics and sleeve notes, a gatefold pack housing two CDs and a book of imagery on heavy card. All elements of the package, bar the lyric booklet, is printed on silver stock - giving the release, and the imagery that adorns it (created by Du Preez and Thornton Jones) a unique and lavish quality.

The slipcase contains three items – the black lyric booklet, a silver gatefold wallet containing the packages two discs (the album plus a bonus instrumental version of the album), and a thick card book of imagery created by Du Preez and Thornton Jones

This is the open gatefold CD wallet

Inside the left hand side of the gatefold wallet is another sleeve which contains the album disc (above) and in the left hand side of the gatefold wallet you'll find the bonus disc containing the instrumental versions of each track on the album:

Booka Shade will release their fourth artist album More! next month, love the sleeve design.

Love the Autechre 'Oversteps' record sleeve, the deluxe Vinyl Edition includes Double heavyweight 180gram vinyl, each disc packed in its own printed inner and outer card sleeves, 900mm x 600mm double-sided poster printed on Offenback ultra fine stock, folded within its own card sleeve, all housed in printed and debossed rigid slipcase* Autechre reach the tenth album milestone with 'Oversteps' released via Warp Records.

I've just bought myself one of these lovely limited edition CD's, it's a compilation disc from independent record label Fine Art Recordings.The Packaging was designed by Sawdust and printed by the fantastic Generation Press. Limited to just 200 copies, it comes with a plastic tiddlywink so you can scratch off the gold latex panels that cover all text on the CD pack.

Continuing my mini feature of Paris based graphic design and illustration studio Supercinq, here's is some lovely work for the cd sleeve and packaging for the collection entitled Total Reggae.

I love the vintage jazz type styling for the cd sleeve of The Bahama Soul's latest offering 'Rythm is what makes Jazz Jazz'. If you've not heard The Bahama Soul's music, it's from the creative team behind´The JuJu Orchestra´, Oliver Belz has come up with the next step ... A delicious clash of soul, jazz and bossa nova with a unique vintage feel, an impressive demonstration of the latest defining of superb dancefloor-jazz.
