I think I know what you're talking about...something which sounds similar
came up on ebay awhile back and I was so intrigued that I saved the picture.
Unfortunately I got rid of the accompanying info on it, so the rest is from
memory.
The picture shows a black cardboard CD wraparound. Printed across the
wraparound are the bands Lush, Dead Can Dance, Pixies, and Cocteau Twins.
I seem to remember that this was a promotional item which included one album
by each of the bands listed. By the fold in the wraparound I would guess
that the CDs were housed in paper or cardboard sleeves and not jewel cases.
I have no idea where it was made, if it's legit, how many were made, why they
were sent out, or what this item smells like. Each of the bands DID release
material in 1990, so it could be from around that time. In which case I
doubt it's US since all the bands were licensed here and there at that time -
Lush with Reprise, Cocteau Twins with Capitol, Pixies with Elektra, and DCD
didn't even have any American releases at that time. Though I think all of
them sleep under the Warner house roof. I'm sure someone on the 4AD
messageboard could comment more on it.
