One would have thought the subjective significance of any such artefact defines its ceremonial (as oppose to commercial) value? Feral is as feral does; listen to any home produced Folk CD-R album and that much is obvious, hence the intial folklore tag, removed by Mudcat owing to its inabily to comprehend the nature of both Folk and of Lore. Not much room for creative expression in an IKEA flatpack (thougb it's always nice when you get it right) whereas your average CD-R presents you with nigh on 80-minutes of beautiful silence which to fill to your heart's content, let alone the possibilities regarding packaging.

And that's CD-R for recordable, not ROM.

And I still think anything over £5 is asking too much for something which is invariably little more than a hobbyist indulgence; for this I applaud their actual folkoric nature which is to serve the idyll in which recordings serve as documents rather than products. These days the Folk Singer must field record themself.
