Hi,
The Dire Straits / Dire Straits is released in Russian mini LP version with the remastered Japan OBI replica.
But this is a fake cd, but the sound is good remastered.

Given that some of these have recently been released as SHM-CD, I'm hoping they may come out as a mini - not very fancy covers but nice to have anyway. Sam.

I have pre-ordered on the www.cdjapan.co.jp website the complete dire straits inventory which are all in shm-cd format (playable on normal cd players) and are all noted as being in cardboard sleeves. The release date from cdjapan is 22/10/08. Hope that helps. paolo.

Paolo, don´t go so fast.

I can bet 100 to 1 that a Disk Union promo box will be released for Dire Straits. If you have ordered the complete release is plain clear that you are a big fan from the band so probably you will be interested into have the promo box.

Now, to have the promo box you will need:
- to bid on auction for an empty box (if the box appears, and probably paying a very high price for it).
- to sell the albums bought from CD Japan and then buy the boxset from an ebay seller (o to bid for it).

As I needed to do some of these 2 options many times (of course for boxsets released before I started collecting minis and complete releases with promo box), my advice is that your best option -if you want to have the complete boxed release- is to cancel your order when you still are on time and wait to order the complete boxset from one of the japanese ebay sellers when it will surface as pre-order.

Believe me, to buy all the albums and not to have the boxset is the wrong option and you will regret that for long time.

Think on it. Or better... act now.

Ciao

Domingo

Paolo,

just confirmed in the last Disk Union Kamijacket News, a Promo Box will be released for Dire Straits, the box artwork will be Brothers in Arms.

Do what you think better, you have a month and half before the release date.

I´m not a DS fan but a minis collector and I´ve reserved it already. I think that for you the Promo Box is a must have.

Thanks, for the disk union news. Can I ask a question... I have been to that site and got lost trying to find an english translation link. Is there one? and if so, where is it on japanese home page?

thanks
paolo

No Paolo, isn´t. The same the Kamijacket News bolletin that I receive is in japanese but I use the google translator.

Disk Union don´t sell outside Japan, so the only way to have these promo boxsets is by the ebay dealers.

Cheers

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.

Front cover (main) image of WPCR-13142 (fake) : Led Zeppelin : Fake Led Zeppelin - 40th Anniversary Definitive Collection (Zoso Box)
WPCR-13142 (fake) : 2009-01-01

This fake Led Zeppelin 40th Anniversary appears to be made in China. You would find it hard to pick a sealed copy of this as being anything other than than the real deal.

Inside it is also remarkably similar but has some significant, obvious differences in packaging including: (a) the CD comes in a flimsy loose fitting bag (b) Physical Graffiti has no cut out windows and (c) III (3) has no turning wheel.

The CDs also have the tell tale extra ring in the middle but this is much better disguised than usual.

Unusually for fakes these have the catalogue number and an IFPI code (CC 303) on the silver side of the disc.

 
Front cover (main) image of DU-BOX075 : Kluster : Zwei-Osterei Box
DU-BOX075 : 2006-04-06
Two titles only (CTCD-541 and 542) - may have been a Captain Trip box? Can hold up to 8? CDs.
Front cover (main) image of LIST-007 : Quintessence Editions : 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die
LIST-007 : 2006-02-07

This is a work in progress project and due to its size it will take some time to finish.

Book cover images from different countries are welcome (or the ones included but with better image resolution).

 
Front cover (main) image of MHCP-1002 : Santana : Lotus
MHCP-1002 : 2006-06-07

Recorded in early July 1973 this album took nearly a year to make it to streets.

One of the most elaborate record covers ever produced and probably the most elaborate so far to make it to mini LP release. It is nearly impossible to capture the splendour of this on a web site but we shall try...

Front cover (main) image of POCP-9194 to POCP-9208 & 9212/3 : Who (The) : POCP Target Obi Series
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.
