To be fair - the design of some of the CD covers depicted (I'm thinking
in particular of the Gabrieli 'A Sound Spectacular' and _Capriccio_) looks
distinctly old-fashioned, so I'm not sure you can use these as evidence of
a decline in taste on the part of record companies.  Either that or someone
in the artwork department is still stuck somewhere around 1965.
