The rarest and most sought after 15 Years, 5 Months ago Karma: 0  
I was intrigued by your comment that "Deja Vu" by CSN&Y is "One of the rarest and most sought after Japanese mini LPs".

May I ask what, in your opinion, are the top 20 rarest and most sought after?

Regards,

Stuart

Re:The rarest and most sought after 15 Years, 4 Months ago Karma: 2  
I was hoping someone else might have a stab at this one.... top 20 is a big ask.

I have a top 5 I suppose but I'm either too stingey to spend the money or they just never come up.

The oddest of my list is "Gilbert O'Sullivan, I'm a Writer not a Fighter" for completely nostalgic reasons.

I also have "Dave Brubeck, Time Out", "Return To Forever, Romantic Warrior" and did have "Banco, Darwin!" (but I recently got that and it's about to be re-released soon too).

The price for Darwin! will plummet soon as a result of the re-release. The same would be true for Deja Vu if it ever gets re-released expecially if it gets remastered.

Hi everybody

The most sought after mini's are priced accordingly... Ah, the law of offer and demand !!! To me, "Déjà vu" is the top one. Some others are "The wall" by Pink Floyd, "666" by Aphrodite's child, "A glass house" by Gentle Giant, most the Pat Metheny issues, "A passion play" by Jethro Tull, "Romantic Warrior" by Return to Forever, all the Mahavishnu Orchestra issues, "Ram" and "Band on the run" by Paul McCartney. "Melting pot" by Booker T and the MG's is rare too. Of course, I noticed those titles because they fit in my tastes. There might be other rare mini's of artist I dont even know... Any other sugestions ???

Front cover (main) image of VICP-5442,3,4 : Emerson, Lake + Palmer : First True Japanese Mini LP Rock Release
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.

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".
