One of the things that I discovered while in NYC is that Columbia has discontinued the really cool metal spine packaging for the Miles Davis box sets. Replacing them is a cheaper, standard long box format that has absolutely no personality. I guess “cheaper” is good for those wanting the sets but not wanting to outlay the hefty price tag for them. I, personally, am a fan of cool packing and would rather pop the extra dough to have something that looks cool on the shelf.
