Yessongs SHM 14 Years, 9 Months ago Karma: 0  
Hey everyone. Does anyone know what the deal is with the upcoming SHM? I have it pre-ordered from CD-Japan but am I bit concerned that it won't the be crazy gatefold cover, mainly because it's a 2-Disc set rather than a 3-Disc set. Does anyone have any idea? Thanks!

I'm pretty sure it will be the same trifold cover (which many argue is not a true replica!)

Re:Yessongs SHM 14 Years, 9 Months ago Karma: 0  
For those who are curious about the answer to the question I posed, my Yessongs came today. It appears that this release finally replicates the original addition. Rather that the accordion style fold-out that the other minis have taken, the gatefolds fold open more like a book, tied together with a single thick spine. The first sleeve has the first disc, the second sleeve the second disc, the third the booklet that came with the original and the final the lyric sheet. Of course, this one is 2 CD's, not 3. Also, the CD's come in the original white sleeves with the Yes logo printed on one side. It's pretty great. I hope to get some pictures up soon.

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.
