David Bowie boxes 10 Years, 6 Months ago Karma: 0  
Hi guys
Recently some new promo boxes has been offered on ebay. It is Aladdin Sane, Heroes and Scary Monsters. Aladdin Sane box is for first six SHM TOCP-90.. releases and it is confirmed by this site as official. But I can't find any information about other 2 boxes (Heroes, Scary Monsters). It is obvious that they are made for SHM CD Mini LP editions (TOCP-90.. series) too.

My questions are: are these two boxes (Heroes, Scary Monsters) legal Disc Union boxes (as Aladdin Sane is) or they are unofficial / home made? If two boxes are official are they coming with only new obis (TOCP-90.. series), or with both official & promo obis as Aladdin Sane release I saw on ebay?

Another semi-related question: I saw twice on ebay that Ziggy Stardust and Low boxes (from earlier boxed collection) were offered with 2 extra obis for each box (third box [Let's Dance] was without that 'big obi'. Are these two 'big obis' officiai or not?

Front cover (main) image of EMICD-11228 : Pink Floyd : Oh By The Way: European Box Set
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.

LIST-007 : 2006-02-07

This is a work in progress project and due to its size it will take some time to finish.

Book cover images from different countries are welcome (or the ones included but with better image resolution).

 
Front cover (main) image of VICP-5442,3,4 : Emerson, Lake + Palmer : First True Japanese Mini LP Rock Release
VICP-5442,3,4 : 1994-09-21

The first three Emerson Lake and Palmer albums (self titled, Tarkus and Pictures at an Exhibition) are arguably the first true Rock Mini LPs. They were released on 21st September 1994.

These had been preceded by a much earlier Lotus and a US release of some Rolling Stones albums repackaged for Japan a few short months before these. Neither of these earlier releases was true to the original vinyl although the Stones came close.

The earliest true Minis were two series of MCA Jazz releases from March 1994 (MVCZ-26 to MVCZ-45) including this example: Death and The Flower.

Front cover (main) image of Rush-Sector-1 : Rush : Sector 1
Rush-Sector-1 : 2011-11-21
Box 1 from a 3 boxes set. Each box is numbered. These are official releases by Universal Music. Each box set has 5 cds and 1 DVD. Each cd is in a replica mini LP sleeve. The DVD is in Surround sound. Each sliding box has a picture from 1 member of the band. On top of the boxes, you find part of the logo that is on the inside of the 2112 cd. Once you put the 3 boxes one beside another, you have the complete logo.
