Both artworks are great, but this one, Alex, is one of my personal favorite you've done!

Thanks, I have several versions of the second night, including the recent silver which I like very much. Still, I'm going to download this aswell because I know it'll be great:-) And the artwork is another great reason. You guys rock!

Awesome artwork, Alex.

What about printable CDs ? I usually use printable media and print directly on them, is it a good idea ? Or will I find it out in a few years ? :-)

Haha... maybe! I'm honestly not sure. But what we do know is that it's bulletproof to have no labels at all. :-)

thanks Bob!
personally, I don't use labels for my CDs, only a couple non Queen related DVDs (printable) and had no probs at all so far with 'em; I'm not sure about the reliability of printable CDs/DVDs but I'm sure they're way more reliable than stickers, that's for sure... and about lightscribe, is not very developed yet and it only supports monocrome designs.

Real-life (not accelerated aging) tests have revealed that some CD-Rs degrade quickly even if stored normally. The quality of a CD-R disc has a large and direct influence on longevity -- cheap discs shouldn't be expected to last very long. Unfortunately, branding isn't a terribly good guide to quality, because many brands (major as well as no name) do not actually manufacture their own discs. Instead they are sourced from different manufacturers
of varying quality. For best results, verify the actual manufacturer and material components of each batch of discs.
An example of a CD-R burned in 2000 showing dye degradation. Part of the data on it has been lost.[/i]

Burned CD-Rs suffer from material degradation, just like most writable media. CD-R media have an internal layer of dye used to store data. In a CD-RW disc, the recording layer is made of an alloy of silver and other metals — indium, antimony, and tellurium.In CD-R media, the dye itself can degrade causing data to become unreadable.
As well as degradation of the dye, failure of a CD-R can be due to the reflective surface. While silver is less expensive and more widely used, it is more prone to oxidation resulting in a non-reflecting surface. Gold on the other hand, although more expensive and no longer widely used, is an inactive material and so, gold-based CD-Rs do not suffer from this problem.
Paper paste-on labels for CD-Rs have been linked to degradation of the recording surface, although the issue is not without controversy. Permanent markers are commonly used to mark the label side of CD-Rs and DVDs. This practice has been discouraged because it is believed xylene and toluene, common substances in permanent marker ink, can cause surface deterioration. Additionally, volatile organic compounds may be released which will remain inside the enclosed atmosphere of a CD-R's storage box, causing harm.[/i]
