Some Mini LP CD Newbie Questions 14 Years ago Karma: 0  
Hi

Basically I've been looking at some albums I want to buy on the Airmail Recordings label, as they have extra songs etc. But I have a few questions regarding Mini LP CD's as I'm completely new to them to be honest and haven't come across them before.

1. Howcome they are so expensive? Or is it just that Japanese CD's in general are expensive? It's going to cost around £20 UK (including shipping) for one CD, whereas in the UK you can get CD's for around £10 or less. Is there something that makes them so pricey?

2. Are they worth this amount of money? As I could just buy the actual original LP equivalents really (I could probably get two albums on LP for about the price of one Mini LP CD, although there are no extra songs on them), I do buy both vinyl and CD's. Is the packaging anything special? Is it impressive? It sounds off putting because it's classed as 'cardboard sleeves' etc, just doesn't sound impressive when it's put like that, it makes me think of something you would get for free with a magazine.

I guess my questions are probably really quite stupid but I was just hoping you could answer them anyway.

Thanks for your help.
