    A great series to be sure, and the stereo/mono sets are particularly welcome. But I'd really like to know where this recent Japanese thing of making every CD label blanket-green, with nothing but tiny, near-illegible text to differentiate between albums has come from. Maybe they think it makes them look refined or upmarket or somesuch? Proper labels that mimicked the LP labels of the time were a much better idea.
