I was idly tooling around an Album cover site looking at various album covers -- many are works of art unto themselves and I just started wondering about something now that we live in a world of Compact Discs.
For CDs of albums that were issued way back in the vinyl days, the front cover of the album is mostly always faithfully reproduced. How 'come the albums backside is never reproduced? In some cases, there's just as much art on the back as there is on the front? It's not just some blank canvas with track information.
It would be cool to see both sides of the album reproduced, even if it's just on the booklet. The only company that ever did that was the now-defunct DCC Compact Classics with their Gold CD re-issues and now re-born as Audio Fidelity.
(And if you're curious, the site I was looking at was http://tralfaz-archives.com/coverart/D/D.html)
