OBI question 11 Years, 1 Month ago

Hi,
the FAQ about OBI STRIP clearly describes the meaning of "Yogaku" symbol.
I have also seen L and X symbols on OBIs.
Can anyone explain what do these symbols mean?
Thanks in advance,
Vlad. |

Hi Vlad,
Good question - Can you please provide some images or links to releases on the site that have these symbols?
Thanks, Sam.

I have asked one of the guy's who helped with the original obi FAQ and we shall see. In the meantime I think the L may mean the opposite of the Y - ie. Japanese - or perhaps a type of Japanese such as "modern Japanese"?
I notice that Flower Travellin' Band releases have the L.

Maybe it is, but i don't think so. If you take a close look, you will see these symbols always stand near the date of release. I think these symbols have something to do with this date. Let's see.

SONY-BECK : 2005-02-23 This unique and beautiful clam-shell style promo box contains ten Jeff Beck mini lp cds and has room to fit two more mini LPs. When flipped open, the inside of the box resembles a guitar amplifier. |
MHCP-1002 : 2006-06-07 Recorded in early July 1973 this album took nearly a year to make it to streets.
One of the most elaborate record covers ever produced and probably the most elaborate so far to make it to mini LP release. It is nearly impossible to capture the splendour of this on a web site but we shall try... | | | |
|
ARC-7003 : 2002-03-27 Rare Italian Progressive rock album from the Trident label.
Images for this release show two different types of obis for original (sticker) and reprints (paper) of this release. | | |
VC 04-17 : 2002-01-01 Russian mini LP of the 1967 album from the Fab Four. Nice reproduction including a full black CD replica of the original vinyl disc. |
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 | | |
