Pentangle japanese mini lp 2004 re-issues. 16 Years ago Karma: 0  
The back of the obi strips clearly state "Pressed in Hong Kong" above "Printed in Japan" & close to center hole on cd some have "Pressed in Hong Kong" as well.
Are BMG Japan releases now pressed in Hong Kong? Or are these mini lps fakes?
Also, the Pentangle set comes in sealed wrapping as with normal american cd's instead of the more common re-sealable protective sleeves.
Then again, the set of mini lp's by the Searchers came in sealed wrapping but they are made/pressed in Japan [RCA Victor, not BMG].

Yes, Pentagle minis are printed in Japan and pressed in Hongkong by Sonopress. Not all the BMG minis are the same way, the last ones received today says Made in Japan.

Any thoughts on american style outer wraps?
Is BMG trying to save a few yen?

BVCM-37083 : 2000-01-08
This is the eponymous first album from Elvis Presley. It is the first rock & roll album to reach number one on the national charts (holding at number 1 for 20 weeks) and the first million dollar selling pop album.
 
Front cover (main) image of Caroline-2008 : Various Artists : Caroline Records 2009 US Releases
Caroline-2008 : 2008-08-05

In late 2008 Caroline Records in the USA released a number of albums by the following artists: UFO, Jethro Tull, Quicksilver Messenger, Brian Eno, Roxy Music, The Raspberries, Kate Bush, Blondie, The Band, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Van Der Graaf Generator (full list below).

Unlike the suspect Universal releases these are 100% Japanese. The only difference between these and the Japanese (apart from being as much as 50% cheaper) is a sticker on the bar code of the obi.

As at March 2009 most of these are still available at Amazon.
