Re:Questions on purchases of Mini LP CDs 16 Years, 1 Month ago Karma: 0  
From what I understand, all Beatles mini-lp's are fakes - they mostly use the original LP OBI's for the replica OBI - Someone in Russia has been using actual jewel case OBI's for replicas on the Paul McCartney mini-lp issues found on eBay!
Always beware and make sure the seller can tell you if the catalog number is etched onto the inner ring of the CD (TOCP, UICY, etc.) Beatles mini's have not been authentically released in Japan as of yet.

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.
