Chorus 3CD Remaster (2020)

[Tin Soldier]

But, but, there MUST be room on your Trapper Keeper for it. How will the girls (or boys) know you're cool?!

I was only joking!

No, what I do is I tear off the shrinkwrap and then carefully try to peel the sticker away. That doesn't usually go so well (it's difficult because the shrinkwrap is stretchy) so, what I do then is take a pair of scissors and cut carefully around the sticker. Once I'm happy enough that it's neat and tidy, I dab some glue on the back and press it down onto the CD cover, trying my best to smooth out any lumps and creases so that it can look just it did when it was delivered, but minus the shrinkwrap plastic of course, with the added bonus that I can freely open it to get to the CDs.

I don't go as far anymore. If I can open the wrapper along the sealed seam, then it can serve for awhile as an extra sleeve (ideally, within another Japanese-style resealable sleeve), but if that doesn't go to plan, the wrap gets folded around it, and it goes inside the CD case (or book in this case).

Applying it to the cover itself means any future bleeding of the adhesive into the lamination of the cover is 100% my fault, and I'd rather not bear that responsibility. If it was on there to begin with, fine, it can stay, but putting it on myself is a different kettle of fish. Sometimes, if it's possible to keep the adhesive on the sticker and not the wrapper, I might peel it off the plastic and transfer it to waxed sticker backing in an attempt to retain it as if never applied. That's rarely possible, though.

Ha. I was only joking about that as well. I was trying to conjure up the image of a badly placed, creased and lumpy sticker with tiny bits of shrinkwrap poking out if the sides! But yes... there is NO WAY I'm going stick ANYTHING onto the cover of a CD. But like you, if it's there already, I'm inclined to just leave it there. I've learned from experience to avoid trying to remove them. The worst thing is when you start and realise it's not going to come off easily, so you press that tiny bit you tried to peel back down - but now it's left looking like you once tried to peel it off.

I wish they never put stickers directly on covers anyway, but it least if they are official ones it's not so bad. It's the ones added by record stores using the strongest adhesive known to man that annoy me most!

As for the sticker on the shrinkwrap - I just remove the shrinkwrap, keep the sticker atached to it and then just save it somewhere. Maybe inside the packaging.

Does any body know if this will be on spotify or itunes tomorrow?

Thanks

Except here. Yep, peeled off smooth as buttah. Like buttah, I say.

It's now on its own backing and inserted inside the book for future use in whatever wish I'd like; even back on the plastic if I want.
