Awesome: Floppy disk album packaging


A NY band called Science Vs. Witchcraft is releasing an EP soon, and in honor of (I’m sure) their nerdy roots, they’ve designed the packaging with a sweet 80’s diskette vibe. The CD itself is inside a 5.25″ diskette case and when you put it in your computer’s drive, it’ll pop up with a little text-based adventure game. Looks like someone did this before, but not with quite the amount of verve these guys have.

The new album is called “It’s not necrophilia if you’re dead too” and you probably can’t get it anywhere. I don’t have time to listen to it now but they have a couple tracks up, so see if the music is as cool as the packaging.

New Order did this in 1983 with the blue monday single record…

I believe that Factory Records even lost money on each single sold, due to the high cost of printing them at the time.
