Emerson, Lake + Palmer - First True Japanese Mini LP Rock Release

VICP-5442,3,4 (1994)

The first three Emerson Lake and Palmer albums (self titled, Tarkus and Pictures at an Exhibition) are arguably the first true Rock Mini LPs. They were released on 21st September 1994.

These had been preceded by a much earlier Lotus and a US release of some Rolling Stones albums repackaged for Japan a few short months before these. Neither of these earlier releases was true to the original vinyl although the Stones came close.

The earliest true Minis were two series of MCA Jazz releases from March 1994 (MVCZ-26 to MVCZ-45) including this example: Death and The Flower.

Editor Comments

Perhaps it is not suprising that ELP albums have been the most reprinted and reissued minis so far.

As a result of this they have also seen probably the greatest fluctuation in value. In the early 2000s ELP minis commanded very high prices (over $100). By comparison, in 2009 the latest and greatest SHM versions could be bought at well under half their market price having been dumped on the Chinese market.
