Def Leppard Mini-LP Replicas and SHM-CD 18 Years, 5 Months ago Karma: 0  
Hello,

I just registered and this is my first posting to this forum. For many years, I have been collecting vinyl and CDs (especially those in the mini-LP design).

Anyway, I have a couple of the upcoming cardboard reissues of Def Leppard on order:

On Through The Night
High 'n' Dry
Pyromania
Hysteria
Adrenalize

These reissues are among the many that Universal Music Japan is releasing as SHM-CD (Super High Material CD). It is supposed to offer "improved transparency on the data side of the disc, allowing for more accurate reading of CD data by the CD player laser head" (quote taken from CD Japan site). Does anyone know if this is pretty accurate? Does anyone have any SHM-CDs? Thanks.

I hate to say this to you, but your mini lps are russian fakes at 99.9%. This is the first Japanese Mini LP release for Def Leppard.

And about your question, yes SHM-CD has better sound quality than normal japanese remasters and way better than USA or european remasters.

I think you might have misunderstood - he has pre-ordered them from CDJapan - he does not own them yet

Thanks for the reply. This is one of the reasons I order from CD Japan, so that I am assured of getting the real thing, not to mention and pay the actual retail price and not the inflated mark-ups from. From CD Japan, these Def Leppard titles are a little over $25 US. If you pre-order them from Amazon.com, they are $47.99.

Anyway, I guess I'll see what they are like when I receive them. BTW, I just added an image for my avatar in case you could not guess where my SN originated.
