White labels were brought up by Dave the Drummer. My question is do people even care about label art or finished package design anymore? Esp. from a Detroit label?

I know the stock, too-cool techno answer is "It's all about the music," so let's just get past that and assume that the music is good.

Seems to me that you can do 500 whites and you're good to go these days. Just sell 'em as is for full wholesale price. No outer jackets, no nothing. The sense I get is that nobody really gives a sh** about design and extras (comics/flyers) anymore. It's the vinyl equivalent of a home-burnt CD. Music is there but no visual context. Nobody cares.

I also base my opinions on when we sell back catalogue, most people prefer white labels to finished copies anyway. More rare.

Your thoughts?
