Japanese Paper Sleeve Exploration Party |
Words fail me on this one - because I cannot read Japanese. Being Japanese based you're likely to see the latest - hot off the presses - images of releases. |
Japanese Paper Sleeve Wiki |
Japanese Wiki containing most(?) releases made on mini LP in Japan (thanks to Chris V for pointing this one out). |
Collectorshelp Record and CD Grading System |
A fairly straightforward out and simple system originally for vinyl releases but easily adapted and applicable for replicas. There is one notable point in this site's grading system that I disagree with. They state that "the [jewel] boxes are not graded as they can be replaced". There are certain CD cases (eg. green Ryko, plastic cases around the old style Rolling Stones replicas) that are near impossible to replace. |
Collectorshelp Glossary of Record and CD Collecting Terms |

 DU-BOX045 : 2005-09-28 Tarkus promo box and obis released to accompany the first K2 24 bit release of the first five ELP albums. The artwork is darker than the album cover. It came with 6 promo obis, 2 for Trilogy. Some of the images shown here include all but one of the Tarkus Mini LP releases spanning 1994 - 2008 |
 EMICD-11228 : 2007-11-26 16 CD box set - being 14 studio albums including 2 doubles. According to Pink Floyd Brain Damage site there were a few glitches with this release, the most notable being a misprinting of the inner bag for the second CD in "The Wall". There are also cases of an album being missed out and duplicates in their places. The later Japanese release of this box set is basically identical to this box set. Poor quality fakes exist for this set - more details below. The original Japanese individual releases are regarded as being of a much higher quality to either of these box sets. You can see a YouTube video of this set on the videos page. |
