The Loss Of Sleeve Notes.

Originally published by The Liverpool Echo.co.uk (part of Jade Wright’s column.)

One thing that’s been lost in the digital age, is the ability to listen to the C.D. of your choice and look at the carefully written lyrics inside the sleeve notes that the artist has thought out, sweated over and hoped that in some form or another their words might be quoted and sung by random listeners up and down the country.

The words now have to be downloaded via various websites and digested for seemingly fractions of seconds before the person gets bored with it and moves onto looking at another Wikipedia site in the hope that they will find something else to take up their time.
