Liner notes?

So for my first CD, the liner notes were pretty easy - I knew way ahead of time what I wanted to put.

For CD #2, not so easy, as there will be 2 versions - the Kunaki one with just 2-sided front insert, and the CreatSpace/Amazon one with with inside-and-outside (4 panels total) front insert.
I had thought about putting lyrics on the inside panels, but I doubt I can get all the lyrics onto 2 panels. So do I selectively choose lyrics, or just fit what I can starting at song 1 ....
Or better to put something else entirely?

Any opinions?

Liner notes are pretty much dead (even Jeff Beck noted this on "Truth" in 1968). Most people will go to your website for lyrics or other info. Plus your words are pretty easily understood, no? Share some cool art instead.

I don't know - I'm 'old school' and miss those days of getting a new album (12" vinyl, thank you) and sitting down reading all the liner notes while listening to the new music.
I think a fair amount of people who get my CD (not that I expect to sell more than a few dozen) may want to read the lyrics rather than go search for them.
There will be a message on the 2-panel version to go to .... for lyrics.
