Featured Releases (A selection of...)
 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). |
 DU-BOX075 : 2006-04-06 Two titles only (CTCD-541 and 542) - may have been a Captain Trip box? Can hold up to 8? CDs. |
 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 |
 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... |
 POCP-9194 to POCP-9208 & 9212/3 : 1999-09-29 The first edition of the first series of mini LPs for the Who (target obis) came with inserts that were pre-punched. A binder and T-Shirt accompanied the release. It is not clear how these were obtained but it seems likely that the small yellow coupon on the obi would have been snipped off and the folder at least was awarded on surrendering the full set of coupons. |
 VICP-5442,3,4 : 1994-09-21 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. |
