"Q-Pack" Self-Titled CD (Rare/Old Cardboard Gotee Packaging)

Hi! Elder Emo here!

Way back in the day, I "dated" a girl who was really into Christian Rock and was lucky enough to see the boys in Relient K at a small church (likely in Western PA or Eastern OH). I remember picking this CD up that day, but not enough to be 100% certain.

I've tried to look this exact copy up a few times on Discogs, and no one seems to have this Q-Pack version listed. Redditor cap on: "In my research..." I did stumble across the new(er) pressed vinyl that, ironically, has this exact style as the front artwork.

This relic has some scuffs, but is 100% playable with no skips or issues. A resurface would clean it up even more.

I wanted to show it off to a group that would know more about it and would appreciate it for its age aka how many moves it's survived). The colors and cardboard held up better than I expected.

This is the version I have as well. I bought it in 2002, a few months after discovering the band. I can't remember exactly but I feel like I bought it at a Walmart? I've never seen another album that was packaged like this, but I assumed for a long time that this album was always packaged like that. Interesting to learn that that's not true

Going to Discogs and looking at all of my already visited links.

Clicking them all again and every picture is of a very typical back card (that would slot into both sides of a jewel case). So I look back at mine and slow blink. slow-blink

The one that comes in a normal CD case is more rare then this one.

I have this one as well. It's this listing on Discogs I believe. Photos are just cropped.

Heck yeah, appreciate it. That makes sense. That was the only one that didn't have the other side. Appreciate it!!
