NEW Supertramp SHM mini lp fakes 15 Years, 4 Months ago Karma: 0  
I don't know if you have noticed yet, but I have recently seen there are a selection of fake supertramp mini lps for sale on ebay. If you look closely at the pictures you can tell (compared to originals)that the colouring is not quite right, BUT they do have up-to-date SHM obi strips and may fool the unwary. As usual they are for sale thru usual suspects in latvia and russian federation (ebay seller: vas_in appears to be a key distributor. See sample pic attached....

All the SHM-CD's I own (bought from CDJapan or HMV Japan) have the text "SHM-CD" and its logo printed in white around the center (hole) of the CD. I've never seen a fake SHM-CD, so I don´t know if the forgers bother to print these.

Excellent question.

I expect they don't have this printed on them (and also I suspect they have the tell tale ring).

hudson-pf01 : 2008-01-01

A unique creation from Kerry Hudson design. Lavishly sculptured and finished, this felt lined wooden box stand holds all regular sized Pink Floyd Mini vinyl LP replica covers along with a selection of DVDs.

The ultimate gift for the Pink Floyd fan who has everything. (The box is currently for sale from the sculptor. Contact details can be found here.)

This was Kerry's second homage to an artist's releases on Mini LP, the first being Hudson Genesis Box Mach I.

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.

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".
