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 |
An extensive glossary of terms used when describing CDs, vinyl, packaging, grading, technology etc. Definitions ranging from 12" to Zine. |
Featured Releases (A selection of...)
 DU-SP146.2 : 2007-03-07 This box was issued by Disk Union as part of the 3rd of their 3 box releases in the early 2007. You did not need to buy boxes one (Ziggy Stardust Box and Promo Obis) or two (Low Box and Promo Obis) in order to receive the Space Oddity Box. It came with Let's Dance Box and Promo Obis. |
 UICY-93013-38 : 2006-03-16 2006 (reprinted at least once) release of Stones albums from the earliest days up to 1975. Does not include the early 70s releases. Each album included a collector card. The backs of the cards, when laid side by side, formed the cover image of "Their Satanic Majesties Request". |
 LIST-007 : 2006-02-07 This is a work in progress project and due to its size it will take some time to finish. Book cover images from different countries are welcome (or the ones included but with better image resolution). |
 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. |
