No, it's not a thread about a new post-rock indie band, just a question about the spindles found in CD "jewel-cases" that hold the disc in place.
Of all the jewel-case CDs I have bought, all except two have spindles consisting of plastic flanges, made of the same plastic the rest of the case is made of, hard to get the disc off them when new, and prone to breakage.
The two exceptions have a rubber lug to serve as the spindle, and they are both David Gilmour related: "On an Island", and "The Endless River".
Question: Is this a Gilmour thing? Are there other albums that come like this, witha rubber spindle? Is it associated with certain musicians, or certain labels?
This is the kind of thing that keeps me awake at night.
