I need some help.

Some of the newer singles (WICF and newer) were made in a matt cardboard sleeve and in a glossy cardboard sleeve. They both have the same number and the same CD, how can I see which version I’ve got. Just see if it reflects light???? Anyone who can help me out, please do!!

Thnx in advance
Marc

If you have the glossy version, you’ll see it easily.

How can I see it easily, cause to my knowledge I have one version, so I can’t compare it. Does it shine more and reflects light, the glossy version???

Yes, the glossy version is VERY shiny. The matt version is just... dull. Compare it to a normal jewel case CDS. Also the matt versions are misprints, the real sleeves were supposed to be shiny.

Ted: the glossy ones are glossy (glansiga)
the matt ones are matt (matta)

Compare for example the booklet in Room Service - which is GLOSSY, with the booklet in Look Sharp which is MATT...

are the glossy rarer or why release 2

PerAndren said on August 24, 2003 22:32:

GLOSSY are not generally rarer... but if there where released more matt sleeves than glossy ones, than that obviously makes the GLOSSY ones rarer....

I dislike glossy ones as they are fragile!! They fall apart so easily just like Mazarin’s.

All the Australian Bookletts, Inserts and Card Sleeve Singles are Matte, Most european Booklets and Inserts are Glossy.

I love the glossy sleeves. ’The Ballad Hits’ raspberry shines (and looks more realistic) much more than the matte version. ;)
