I recently took delivery of this incredible book, ‘A Decade of Handmade Music Packaging’ by the label Time Released Sound.

The label specialises in handmade limited edition packaging for each release, mainly CD but also lathe cut vinyl.

They’ve made over 100 releases in 10 years which is quite something when you see the work that goes into every one.

The level of detail is staggering as each release is collaged together from found ephemera and assembled by hand. I’m going to have to post more spreads because 10 images just doesn’t do it justice.

For fans of music packaging, there’s never been a book as good as this since the Independent Project Records‘Savage Impressions’ collection.
