Universal Music japan new SHM-CD releases 15 Years, 7 Months ago Karma: 1  
I've bought several new mini-LP relases by Universal Music Japan this summer, in the SHM-CD format. Many of the CD's - Duane Allman, Supertramp, Steely Dan and The Who - have a card insert which reproduces the original LP record label, each numbered with a "Your copy number ..." text. Some of the CD's do not have this card. I assume that only the initial pressings of each title (2000 copies or so) have the card included, while later pressings do not.

I would appreciate hearing comments about this issue from other members who own or have seen these Universal Music SHM-CD's.

If the CD surface is like a mirror with only a few text on it, then you have the card with the original labels printed on it and the serial. If the CD has the surface screenprinted in the normal way then not card with labels and serial #. Is not about the # of copies. Some SHM-CDs are published in one way and some in the other.

I like the numbered cards, but I hate the mirror surfaces, and more when I need to picture them to share the images here.

Front cover (main) image of VC 04-17 : Beatles (The) : Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
VC 04-17 : 2002-01-01

Russian mini LP of the 1967 album from the Fab Four. Nice reproduction including a full black CD replica of the original vinyl disc.

 
Front cover (main) image of DU-BOX045 : Emerson, Lake + Palmer : Tarkus Box and Obis
DU-BOX045 : 2005-09-28

Tarkus promo box and obis released to accompany the first K2 24 bit release of the first five ELP albums.

The artwork is darker than the album cover. It came with 6 promo obis, 2 for Trilogy.

Some of the images shown here include all but one of the Tarkus Mini LP releases spanning 1994 - 2008

Front cover (main) image of ARC-7003 : Semiramis : Dedicato a Frazz
ARC-7003 : 2002-03-27

Rare Italian Progressive rock album from the Trident label.

Images for this release show two different types of obis for original (sticker) and reprints (paper) of this release.

 
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-13295 : Talking Heads : Speaking In Tongues (+2)
WPCR-13295 : 2009-01-14

Fifth studio album, featuring Talking Heads only US Top Ten hit, Burning Down The House (including an alternative version as a bonus, and an unfinished outtake of Two Note Swivel).

This version is a reproduction of the limited edition clear vinyl version designed by artist Robert Rauschenberg, who won a Grammy Award for his work.
