Most Didn't Have Artwork

I don't know about other markets, but here in San Francisco, the music stores had CDs with plain white longboxes. There was no need to keep those.

Obviously, it's well-known that a major draw of 12" vinyl was the large artwork. Even if the record sucked, we would cut out or use the covers, and decorate walls. However, 12" LP covers were too wide for our high school lockers.

Voila! Enter CD long boxes. Either my graduating high school class or the alumni association has a photo (or slide) of me in front of my locker. The locker door is open, and you can see the CD longbox of Poison's Look What The Cat Dragged In. During the Spring '88 semester, students walking by my locker liked the CD longbox of Dokken's Back For The Attack. From that album, arguably the heaviest song played at my wedding banquet was Dokken's "Burning Like A Flame."
