Wrap plastic ... or keep it?

I f-uped. :/

I'm not gonna bother you with the details, but I was unable
to finish my essay for school in time..

Anyway today I got a couple of CDs in the mail and I popped
in St Etienne's "Tiger Bay" into my CD and wow.. it is
great!

Also, I got the aphex twin "...I care because you
do"-promo CD with the nice little golden letters (for
promotional use only...) on the cover.

I was wondering... should I remove the plastic around it or
should I keep it on? I mean music is meant to be listened
to, but it does look pretty nice with the golden letters and
the plastics and all (the golden letters are on the cover,
the plastics are around the jewel case) .
So should I wrap it up or keep it where it is?

actually I just checked the xlt discography,
(http://xltronic.com/disco/release.php?release=209)
and it saids it's HELL YEAH rare.
so I should keep it then in plastic?
My (back)cover is not the same as the cover on "the regular"
ICBYD-CD...(http://xltronic.com/disco/release.php?release=208)...

dont unwrap it! the tracklist is the same so just put on
another copy

you might scratch it and ruin it!! its a collectors item,
and if you get bored of it you can make big $$$ on teh ebay

the text saids:

"For promotional use only
sale or other transfer is
prohibited. Must be returned
on demand of recording company."

"Must be returned
on demand of recording company.
"

What does that mean?

it means you must return it to them if they ask you to.
probably if you sell it...

Sell it now and pass this burden onto someone else. And make
money! Also do a handstand.

the letters are stamped on the cd booklet cover ?
the cd os just like mine, all the cds are the same, jsut the
cover is stamped

spometimes they cut the barcode onthe side of the cd or
punch out the barcode on the back side

return to company = if your a perfect person

heh.
But also the back-cover is different from the non-promo
version... It has a typed text on the left and the warp logo
is only featured once on the cover.

But except for that, yeah I expect it's the same thing.
That's why I ordered it originally. I just didn't
expect it to be in plastic, still.

Since the music is easy to get hold of, I don't think the
promo will be worth much...

yeah that's what I was thinking.
It's usually just really old stuff and ultra-rare items that
are worth the big $.
I haven't got a lot of promo's. The only one I can think of
at the moment (besides this, AphexcD) is the David Lynch
(Lux Vivens) promo... BUt I might have some more.
ANyway, I'll probably wrap this some day soon.
Today is a day for Saint Etienne! damn fine cd ("tiger
bay")... mm

I bought promo versions of "Chiastic Slide" and "Envane" on
ebay (also listed as Rare? Hell Yeah), and paid £10-11 for
both.

yeah I payed only $5.5 US dollars for the ICBYD cd...
it was a really good purchase I thought.
It came as a surprise to me that it was still in plastic,
or maybe that was written and I just didn't notice.
good buy anyway.
