Cd Art Question

Question: I'm currently working with an artist, Nemo, to do art for my upcoming album. For this next release, I'm going to have a card board case that will fold out, and the cover will open up into three panels. I'm currently entertainig the idea that the cd should open up and be all art. Look at a CD cover he's done when it folds out. Therefore the track listing would be on the inside, and the spine of the cd would not indicate what CD this is.

Nemo's rightly points out this would work against me from a sales/business perspective. People wouldn't see the track listing. There wouldn't be a upc sticker (though I could always shrinkwrap it and put the UPC on as a sticker). If I ever really wanted to sell it, it would work against me.

On the otherhand, my sales record to date has been miserable. I'd like to think this is largely from the fact that I've never tried to sell my product. I will try to sell this one, because it's going to cost a lot to make. It won't be more then $10. I'm still thinking of having the music freely available on the website - maybe with a donation button when I determine which charity I'd like to support. I imagine most of my sales will be person to person. But maybe not. Who knows.

Anyhow, please weigh in on this one - whether to have the art fill up all the panels sans track listing or not. . .
