weather report mastersound 15 Years, 10 Months ago Karma: 0  
I have 2 Weather Report Sony Mastersound cds
SRCS 9143 MYSTERIOUS TRAVELLER
SRCS 9145 BLACK MARKET
both without the obi strip
I don't think they were ever included when I bought them in the late 90's
Are they worth anything without the obi strip or as a collector would I
be better going for the new pressing with the red obi?

Hi,

Firstly, without obis the resale value of a run of the mill mini (like these - there have been 3 releases and at least one reprint) is definitely less but not necessarily that much less (they are not worth that much anyway).

There has been a lot of debate (mostly in the Japanese Import CDs Yahoo Group) on the topic of "as a collector would I be better..."

I've summarised that to some degree (my slant on anyway) in the FAQs of this site (follow the link in this post).

In this case specifically, if I was in your position, if I came across the newer ones with obis at a bargain price I'd be tempted but otherwise I think I'd just hang to what I've got.

Sam.

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.
