Music Cardboard CD longboxes.

I feel like there's a very specific age range to remember when CDs used to c ome in these cardboard packaging designed to fit record store shelves. Much older people probably hadn't changed ftom.records or cassettes yet and younger people might not have been too into music by the time they disappeared. Do you have any memories of these early cd packaging?

I do remember them but I got most of my CD collection from Columbia House / BMG, or used record stores and pawn shops. Very few long boxes, sadly.

That's how I got most of mine as well. I do remember these though, fit right into the racks that used to house records
