MICHAEL JACKSON mini LP replicas 15 Years, 9 Months ago Karma: 0  
Hi people!

I receive an e-mail from CDJapan telling me that the albuns of Michael Jackson and some of the Jacksons will be or are released in mini LP, but single cover format!!! I think this is quite strange because Thriller, Bad, Off The Wall, at least and Jackson's "Victory" were all released originally in Gatefold LP covers.
Can some help on this topic and confirm if these replicas are not really replicating the originals?

thank you

Soares

Hi ! I would certainly not buy if they were not gategolds which is a major interest of minis. I have 'Off the wall' which is gatefold of course !

Over the years a number of promotional boxes have been released for "The Who". These have included "Manufacturer", "Disk Union" and "Indeterminate Origin".

Here is a selection...

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.

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.

Home made box featuring art work from Queen's "A Night At The Opera". Images for this box were anonymously donated to the MiniLPs site along with the assurance that only a few of these were made for close friends.
