Buying the CD - and the Cover
When I’m wandering the music racks in one of our local superstores, I’m looking at the cover art as much as I am at the songs listed on it.
I’m a very visual person and, if the CD packaging doesn’t catch my eye, I’m not as likely to buy it.
If I’m just browsing, and not looking for any particular music, the “eyes” have it.
If it doesn’t look good, I don’t reach for it.
And, if it turns out I’ve bought a CD I liked the look of and then find that I really only like one or two songs on it, that’s ok. At least I still have something gorgeous on display and I do have those one or two great songs to enjoy.
