 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. |
 UICY-93013-38 : 2006-03-16 2006 (reprinted at least once) release of Stones albums from the earliest days up to 1975. Does not include the early 70s releases. Each album included a collector card. The backs of the cards, when laid side by side, formed the cover image of "Their Satanic Majesties Request". |
 DU-SP110-0412P : 2006-10-04 Zippo lighter gimmick box in the style of "Catch a Fire" |
 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. |
