It's subjective, of course ... but I do generally prefer CD packaging/design to vinyl. Reducing the size of an original vinyl design to CD size can be an issue too!

False Walls @falsewalls.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Given False Walls' commitment to the CD format, it's encouraging to see this Guardian article. I'd make the case for CDs to all ages: the physical format, sound quality, album sequencing/duration, packaging/design, additional visual/written content (and price!) are all part of the experience.

An absolute triumph, on all levels. #nowplaying #jazzsky #improvsky The playing itself is magnificent, the production values - musical and physical, the lovely conversation in the notes and the photos of EP and TC together. Brilliant work from all concerned. Thank you @falsewalls.bsky.social
