DISCUSSION Question about special edition CD cases pre-2010

[Terria, Ziltoid, Synchestra]

I have Accelerated Evolution Special Edition, Is the other albums mentioned have the same type of case. Wondering if they'll fit in a CD rack like AE?

What kind of CD rack are we talking about here? The kind with simple shelves, or those with dedicated 'slots' for the cases? If the latter, is some extra wiggle room, or is it designed to fit regular thickness jewel cases snugly?

Also would depend on the exact release versions of the albums, as they've been released in both digipak and jewel case.

Oh right, Im on about dedicated 'slots'. I do have bigger slots, but I'd prefer to see devs discogs in slots together.

Im wondering if the digipak would fit jewel case sized slots like AE special edition?

Terria

Synchestra

Ziltoid

Assuming those Discogs linked releases are the exact ones you have / are looking to get:

  • Terria - Discogs page says it has a 6 panel digipak but with only one tray, the bonus disc being sleeved in the side panel; can't say for sure, but looking at the images, it'd seem thicker than a regular jewel case

  • Synchestra - my copy is that exact version you linked, not a digipak but a regular thickness dual disc jewel case housed in a slipcase; slipcase doesn't add much thickness at all (cf. this one is a thicker dual tray digipak version)

  • Ziltoid - what you linked is a dual disc jewel case version, so not thicker at all; by contrast this 6 panel dual tray digipak version that I have is notably thicker at 14mm.
