zooloo	I like extra goodies. More in the vinyl days when there was a booklet included that was cool. Printing costs have dropped significantly and if you can "add value" to your product by including inserts and extras you'd please me. I think lyrics, biogs and stuff give the buyer a sense of being included which helps turn them from a buyer into a fan.
Mart	No MM, I`m not at all. I know a lot of people who have trouble picking the lyrics out, although they love the music. With a lot of acts you simply can`t hear every written and cherished lyric, from voices we love and buy. If the cd is to survive as a format, it still needs to retain peruseabilty on a bus as well. I realise putting a booklet in with our next release is a pain, what I tried in the eighties was the selling of a lyric book to accompany the vinyl release, which I still think is a nice idea if the books are limited and numbered. But as was said earlier, the lyrics can be on a free site in a week and there is nothing we can do about it.
JK2006	As a lyric person (anyone listening to my melodies can spot that - Everyone's Gone To The Moon still sounds melodically like Three Old Ladies Got Locked In The Lavatory to me) I get furious if lyrics AREN'T included in packaging. I even put them in singles packs!

The results surprised me, it was an overwhelming yes please. But aren't you simply asking "would you like something else for free?" ... to which most people would answer "yes, please"?
