Music can come in really cool packaging, whether it be simple but striking vinyl and CDs or elaborate special editions and boxed sets with various components.

What are some of your favorite physical music collections? Pictures (or even unboxing videos) are appreciated.

(Feel free to include physical media in general, such as movie franchises or book sets).

Britney's The Singles Collection box set was beautiful and great concept.

Madonna sex book with the foil wrap + bonus CD in the same foil wrap was sooo beautiful

Well, it will be released in Nov, but I think this is a great package for a great price (€110).

I can't wait.

I looove my Grimes - Miss Anthropocene pink vinyl

(I'm really tech dumb and idk how to post a pic of it here anymore )

I also took a few of my grandad's old records he had of The Supremes, Carpenters etc. after he died. They aren't special or anything, just mean a lot to me and I took them before I had a record player cos I liked the art work…

the Marias Submarine water covered vinyl

I bought the cd of this nu-metal band a couple weeks ago and the packaging is like a PS2 game. Honestly one of the coolest/most fun packagings I've seen in a hot minute. I don't buy cds often but I had to cop.

Beyonce normally always serves quality with her vinyls, especially "ACT" 1 & 2.

Xtina's, Back to Basics & Bionic Vinyl editions were beautiful.

I also love Doja Cat VIE vinyl & Janet Jackson's vinyls are all top notch quality.

I imported the UK dexlue version of the hard cover CD for Chromatica and its by far my favorite packaging.

Metallica - Death Magnetic CD. Literally the coolest booklet.

Beyoncé: Platinum Edition

Donna's live and more vinyl that has a pop-up cutout on the front, mine smells like it came from a chain smoker's house unfortunately but whatever!

Rihanna's "ANTI". I'm still pissed that it didn't win best album packaging at the Grammys because the concept and design is so cool.

Rihanna's "Talk That Talk" Boxset. Cool as hell. Pop girls need to start doing these kind of boxsets again.

Childish Gambino's "Because The Internet"

Jay Z & Kanye West's "Watch The Throne"

Taylor Swift's "The Life of a Showgirl" Deluxe CD. Had to give Mrs. Swift her 10s for this.

Bey's vinyl packaging

Madonna old ass ate with this collector's edition of "Hard Candy"

Olivia Rodrigo's "GUTS" Japanese Edition.

K-pop albums

etc
