I believe that is it true with streaming vs physical media. If you buy the digital download the artist benefits more than from streaming. Always check an artist's web site for direct purchases which is the best way to support them.
CDBaby used to be an artist friendly digital sales platform. I haven't used it as much lately.
Some artists don't have the support or funds to offer physical media so you can miss out on lesser known artists if you don't buy digital downloads.
Amazon often offers the CD for a much reduced fee when you buy the digital downloads and Amazon digital downloads for music do not have DRM.
As I said:**** buying CDs from Amazon, always check a band camp for small artists
Kiss had thoroughly awesome album art.
Whore island jukebox contains zero Kiss.Boooooooooooo hiss booooooo!
Boo this man boooo!
I have an original of that album.This was probably my first exposure to album art. Very inspirational for a boy of 12 or 13 years.

Yes, it's a Frank Frazetta painting (Snow Giants). He had several pieces that were used for cover art for both books and albums.That art, my friend, is from an old Conan novel (I have the whole collection).

I also have quite a few albums, multiple genre from the 60's until now. My daughter bought me my newest album a few weeks ago.
