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 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 |
An extensive glossary of terms used when describing CDs, vinyl, packaging, grading, technology etc. Definitions ranging from 12" to Zine. |
