When I used to buy CD singles in the late 1990s the shops would sell them with the printed disc facing outwards at the back (why? To see the track list if you couldn't open up the case?). However when I bought them and got them home I would then switch the disc round, so that I could see the printed label when I opened up the case, matching the design of a CD album case.

But as a collector, should they be left facing outwards? :erk:

I've bought some second-hand lately, and the printed disc label side is inside the case. (If you look at the back of the case, you can see the disc's plain silver underside.) So the previous owner has possibly done what I used to do, and turned the disc over... or were some sold like that?

Incredibly pedantic, I know, but I'd like to know what the most 'faithful' way to store them is. (Hope people here know what I mean!)
