Billy Joel 2008 mini-lp reissues 16 Years, 1 Month ago Karma: 1  
I've bought several titles from the 2008 reissues. Piano Man has the bar code on the back cover.

The CD of Streetlife Serenade comes with a plain inner sleeve, not a picture one. Does anyone know if there is an earlier issue which has a picture inner sleeve for this title?

Yes indeed - the dreaded bar code (as pictured here). I bought this from HMV.co.jp in 2007. There were others I bought also that have the bar code. Apparently the earlier (initial) release did not have the bar codes - bummer.

hi Sam,

are we sure that the earlier albums did not have the bar code. It would be too much of an effort to redesign the sleeve for a reprint. My gut feel is that the bar code has been there all along.

cheers,

Arvind

I posted this same question myself in the Yahoo group in April last year (the link will only work if you have access to the group).

Someone replied that Stranger did not have the bar code on the cover.... but we are talking about Piano Man here so, no I'm not sure - I will check to see what I've got at home.

I have 4 BJ (I think) not all scanned (obviously otherwise they'd be here on the site) but mine are all 2006-11 release (I think). Cold Spring Harbor does not have the bar code.

Does anyone have the original 2004 printing?

2005 mini lp of Roger Waters Pros and Cons has the bar code on the original so i reckon it is 100% identical repress for all the SONY artists.

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.
