Hi all, do original artists get any royalties from Jap mini LPs? Or is it just a way to sell copies? Any feedback on this would be appreciated

Hi Bassman,

It's my understanding the yes they do get royalties. They don't from fakes of Japanese mini LPs but they do from the originals you buy from the likes of HMV, CDJapan, Disk Union and legitimate non-Japanese stores.

Also, pretty well any CD you buy from an eBay seller located in Japan would be the real thing and has had royalities paid when it was originally purchased.

There has always been doubt about the royalties (or not) from Russian mini LPs but I tend to think that they do not get royalties from these (certainly not all of them anyway). Perhaps with many regular Russian CDs but not the replicas.

Sam.

The last I heard, no artist gets any royalties in Russia at all because they have no copyright system. This was a few years ago now but I haven't heard of any change. MP3 discography CDs are sold legally in stores there, so you can bet the artist doesn't see a penny.

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.

MHCP-1002 : 2006-06-07

Recorded in early July 1973 this album took nearly a year to make it to streets.

One of the most elaborate record covers ever produced and probably the most elaborate so far to make it to mini LP release. It is nearly impossible to capture the splendour of this on a web site but we shall try...

 
Front cover (main) image of LIST-007 : Quintessence Editions : 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die
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).
