Featured Releases (A selection of...)
 TOCP-65740 : 2001-06-16 The landmark 1973 album from Pink Floyd. This issue contains all the original inserts plus more. |
 WPCR-13295 : 2009-01-14 Fifth studio album, featuring Talking Heads only US Top Ten hit, Burning Down The House (including an alternative version as a bonus, and an unfinished outtake of Two Note Swivel). This version is a reproduction of the limited edition clear vinyl version designed by artist Robert Rauschenberg, who won a Grammy Award for his work. |
 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". |
 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. |
 Die Cut Covers : Die cutting of the cover image or inserts is probably the most common technique employed to create gimmick covers. It's probably also in most cases the cheapest. There are thousands of die cut covers. Here are a few of the more popular and best known releases. |
 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. |
