PERFECT DESIGN, PRINTING, natural matte DIGIPACK case, RICH COLOR BOOKLET with PHOTOS and work comments, and excellent Information TEXTS in THREE languages, this is the CD.
When you download a mp3 file you have “files”, so physically nothing and maybe one “cover pic”.
When you purchase a CD you have much, much more AND you get significantly better sound quality.
However, I offer both options, you pick.
