Wee Tam and The Big Huge 14 Years, 1 Month 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.

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.
