DU-SP146.2 : 2007-03-07 This box was issued by Disk Union as part of the 3rd of their 3 box releases in the early 2007. You did not need to buy boxes one (Ziggy Stardust Box and Promo Obis) or two (Low Box and Promo Obis) in order to receive the Space Oddity Box. It came with Let's Dance Box and Promo Obis. |
VICP-63335 : 2006-02-22 English language version of the earlier native Italian "L'Isola di niente" on ELP's Manticore label. As with the earlier English rehash of PFM's "Per un amico" the lyrics were for the most part re-written (not translated) by Pete Sinfield of King Crimson. |
UICY-9522 (fake) : Here is a comparison between a genuine official copy of Aerosmith Pump made by Universal and a Russian counterfeit copy. In the picture, the real one is on the left and the fake is on the right. |
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. |
TOCP-71041 : 2009-09-09 Published by EMI Music Japan. This box is a little larger than the non-Japanese version as it contains additional printed material. |
VC 04-17 : 2002-01-01 Russian mini LP of the 1967 album from the Fab Four. Nice reproduction including a full black CD replica of the original vinyl disc. |
