YCN - Existing vinyl’s - The smiths (primary research)

I own quite a lot of vinyl’s myself which is why I thought I’d look at the way one of them is packaged. I’ve chosen to look at The Smiths; this is a recent addition to the collection and is quite simple in design. 

Just like most vinyl’s if not all vinyl’s it comes in a sleeve within a sleeve which is quite standard for a vinyl. The sleeve inside actually has lyrics on it which is interesting as not many covers have this; it’s a way to get your audience engaged with the product. 


As for the actual vinyl, it is fairly basic with nothing overly exciting about it. This suggests that they want the music to speak for itself which I think is a good quality.
