The top scans definitely look like fakes to me. Apart from obvious difference in the printing, the top ones have a ring on the label side of the CD.

Here is a scan of the silver side of the second 2nd. The IFPI code on the reverse is probably not on your copies.

yes,my jethro is FAKE....well
the artwork is incredible..very pretty 20 years ago I had el lp original double.
is very similar...the sound is good.
too bad.
The problem here is that you can not open the cd and shops lose credibility if they see a sale in open cd.
the propietraios of these small shops do not know minilps.net ask for guidance only and distributors in Europe and USA to believe that what they buy is really Japanese.
the shop to buy this mini lp is full of fakes, and people believe they are buying Japanese.
I just buy one of Jethro and humble pie
I buy in 2002 almost the entire genesis of the collection and check the blue logo through minilps.net cds are all true.
slight scare me a great
I have 4 of shmcd zeppelin are incredible
that good that I have made a mistake in only 2 mini lps must also be fake .....
I hope not falsify the shm-cd
I hope my post will serve many people and not to buy fakes
and seek further guidance before making a purchase

Front cover (main) image of POCP-9194 to POCP-9208 & 9212/3 : Who (The) : POCP Target Obi Series
POCP-9194 to POCP-9208 & 9212/3 : 1999-09-29
The first edition of the first series of mini LPs for the Who (target obis) came with inserts that were pre-punched. A binder and T-Shirt accompanied the release. It is not clear how these were obtained but it seems likely that the small yellow coupon on the obi would have been snipped off and the folder at least was awarded on surrendering the full set of coupons.
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

EMICD-11228 : 2007-11-26

16 CD box set - being 14 studio albums including 2 doubles.

According to Pink Floyd Brain Damage site there were a few glitches with this release, the most notable being a misprinting of the inner bag for the second CD in "The Wall".

There are also cases of an album being missed out and duplicates in their places.

The later Japanese release of this box set is basically identical to this box set.

Poor quality fakes exist for this set - more details below.

The original Japanese individual releases are regarded as being of a much higher quality to either of these box sets.

You can see a YouTube video of this set on the videos page.
