Here's a fun topic: I just got a bunch of CDs from Intrada and noticed the booklets all had different scents the second the case was opened:
Rio Conchos smells like HAY
Star Trek V: The Final Frontier smells like SPRAY PAINT / CRAYONS
Breakfast at Tiffany's smells like GREEN TEA
The Wind and the Lion smells like CHAMOMILE TEA
The paper is really thin for Star Trek, more than the others. Maybe someone who works in printmaking can explain the odors.
Anyone else notice this?

Yeah, especially when the liner notes stink.

Not so much anymore
That's because downloads are odor-less.

I think we've got a new thing to complain about, if all else fails and the release is otherwise perfect: does the booklet have the right smell?

I hope that other labels pick up on that idea. To give the booklets a scent to enhance the immersion while listening. But it has to be something from the film.
It's funny that Rio Conchos (a Western) smelled like Hay and I thought maybe Green Tea was light and sophisticated for Breakfast (tea) at Tiffany's.
I guess between Hay, Chamomile, and Green Tea those are all earthy scents so it must be related to the ink/paper. But man, Star Trek V really smells painty.
I probably wouldn't have even thought about this if I wasn't opening all the new CDs one right after the other.

I have personally really enjoyed the scent of certain 4-disc holding cases, like the ones in the FSM MGM Treasury box set, or LLL's recent Irwin Allen sets. A very plastic-y kind of smell, and one that for reasons I can't see any logic in, I revel in.
