ELP - Pictures At An Exhibition Promo Box 15 Years, 7 Months ago Karma: 0  
I've just got one of these & noticed that the box is matt finished as opposed to the more common glossy finish.
Also, the photograph itself is printed a lot lighter than the original vinyl & mini lp issues of Pictures At An Exhibition which are darker & sharper.
A rushed product by manufacturer/Disk Union ?

Perhaps simply a standard to match the lower budget releases - perhaps simply a sign of things to come.

POCP-9194 to POCP-9208 & 9212/3 : 1999-09-29
The first edition of the first series of mini LPs for the Who (target obis) came with inserts that were pre-punched. A binder and T-Shirt accompanied the release. It is not clear how these were obtained but it seems likely that the small yellow coupon on the obi would have been snipped off and the folder at least was awarded on surrendering the full set of coupons.

"Finally after 36 years a correct version not only printed beautifully but also opening like a book, as it should." (Roger Dean)

The first reproduction of the original UK booklet style cover (however comes on 2 not 3 CDs). Earlier releases of this (AMCY-2733 and AMCY-6293) were created in the US "accordion" style.

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.
