CD Longbox Jimi Hendrix Kiss The Sky Purple Haze Rare. A longbox is a form of exterior paperboard packaging for musical compact discs in widespread use in the 1980s and early 1990s in North America. CD not included. UPC = 07599251192.

The longbox wasn't long for this world, despite angry counter-arguments from the president of then-powerful Tower Records. Canada stopped using them in 1990; Europe never took up the practice at all. Finally, the Recording Industry Association of America announced that longboxes would be discontinued on April 1, 1993 – just in time for Earth Day, which was held on April 22 that year.
