The Seller is the Original Owner and received this CD from the label at the time of its release.
From roughly 1988-1993, a CD came in what was called a long box, 6” x 12”, cardboard and hollow. The long box was a throwaway vessel that carried the smaller passenger of the jewel box-encased CD. The long box was a transitional design, fashioned so that two of them could stand up, side by side, in the same bins that once held vinyl records (12” x 12”).
This CD with jewel box is still sealed in its original cardboard long box and shrink wrap. The cardboard is somewhat wavy due to the stiffener inside and shrink wrap. There are no holes, sawcuts, or other manufacturer markings. Please zoom in on the provided photos to see the overall condition of this item and for the song listing.
(Wikipedia Excerpts) Blues Traveler is an American rock band that formed in Princeton, New Jersey in 1987. They are known for their extensive use of segues in live performances and were considered a key part of the re-emerging jam band scene of the 1990s. 1992, the group founded the H.O.R.D.E. festival as an alternative to others such as Lollapalooza, along with other bands such as Phish and Spin Doctors.
Blues Traveler released
their self-titled debut album in 1990. Travelers & Thieves (for
sale in this listing) is Blues Traveler's second album, released on A&M
Records in 1991. On iTunes the album is listed only as Travelers due to the
full name being split across two drawings. On this long box version "Travelers" appears on the front cover and "Thieves" is on the back cover. The full title "
The liner notes include a
poem titled "Of Travelers & Thieves," written by Jonathan
Sheehan, brother of bassist Bobby Sheehan.
Guest performers on the album include Gregg Allman (Hammond B3 and
vocals on "Mountain Cry") and Chris Barron (backing vocals on
"All in the Groove").
Around this time, the
mainstream national audience was exposed to Blues Traveler by television host
David Letterman, who has introduced them as "his favorite band". The
band has since made more appearances on The Late Show than any musical artist.
Letterman's band leader Paul Shaffer has played on a number of Blues Traveler
recordings.
