NILS LOFGREN 10 Disk box set



This Nils Lofgren expansive 10 disk retrospective box set from Concord/Fantasy was just released for sale on August 5th. Frankly I can’t add to what has already been written about his 45 year career in the below 4 articles. So I’ll settle for describing our great packaging efforts (insert shameless plug).

The box is turned edge construction utilizing 85# coated paper with a film lamination applied. A mono-chromatic tip-on was  applied to the face; it included UV gloss coating, providing a gloss vs matte look against the background. A simple ribbon helps the book and CD portfolio removal.

The book is 132 pages plus cover perfect bound using PUR glue on the spine for long term strength. The cover is 17pt produced with an overall matte UV coating for a subtle feel. The body is 85# matte adding to the luxurious feel and quality image reproduction.

The CD portfolio of three different coated cover stock weights creates a three layer sandwich holding 10 disks; 9 CDs and 1 DVD. Two of the CD’s are of previously unreleased and rare material.

This box set has been a very successful seller this past week; it might very well sell out.
