Wee Tam and The Big Huge 15 Years, 2 Months ago Karma: 0  
I've noticed on the Incredible String Band Spirits 9cd box set, that as well as the official single release of Wee Tam and also The Big Huge. there is a further cd cover included of the original double lp release, (it's the one with the lyrics and illuminated lettering on a white background). What is this does anyone know? Is it as i'm guessing a spare cover to house the 2 cds included in the set? I've just read through the above, hope it makes sense!

It´s a Promo Cover released by Disk Union. Is not to hold nothing, only a promo item.

Sometimes when an album has been released with different covers in any place or specially in Japan DU or the maker includes these covers, always as promo items or give aways.

Some of these covers were released for: Jimi Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, Traffic, Laura Nyro (3, 2 from Sony and 1 from DU), Uriah Heep (3), Springsteen, Atomic Rooster,...

Not for sale. Your only option was to buy the complete boxset from DU or one of their usual resellers at ebay at release time receiving it for free, the same than the box - Disk Union only sells the CDs and the promo boxes, obis or sleeves are a free give away for the people that buys the complete release. Now is a hard to get item, your only chance is ebay.

Quicksilverlove store will be probably your best option to get it.

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 UICY-93980 : Stewart, Rod : Sing It Again Rod +5

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 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.
