New CDs. It's kind of a funny coincidence that all of the ones that came in the mail today have black and white covers.
I LOVE "Weird Al" Yankovic (I will NEVER get used to him without a mustache though), and own several of his cassettes, but, no CDs until this 2-disc set came today, and they're loaded with 38 tracks of his best material. I just got Elle King's Love Stuff album because I adore her "Ex's and Oh's" song, hopefully the other tracks are good too. I own several of R. Kelly's songs on various compilation albums, and he generally does very good work, so, I was willing to try a 2-disc set of his stuff. I know and love Rick Springfield's "Jessie's Girl" (I used to have a friend named Jessie that I teased about it too--I kidded him that he was required to find a girl that lived up to the one in this song) and "Don't Talk to Strangers", but the others are unknown to me. "Rock the Casbah" is the only Clash song I know offhand, and it's pure awesome, but, I'm sure there are other winners out of the 41 tracks as well.
Have any of you ever seen a CD jewel case like this Clash one? Inside, the two discs are stacked on top of one another, not on different sides of an interior tray--I've gotten many multi-DVD sets arranged like that, but, never CDs until today (and I own a LOT of CDs). You have to press in on the side to open it too, and the pivoting spine has a unique design I've never seen before--I'm guessing this might be a European thing (it's a Sony UK release)?
