Joe Jackson A&M Years 18 Years, 11 Months ago

Firstly, I did not buy this box (for a number of reasons - following) so I cannot write a complete review - but I can tell you why I did not buy it.
- No obis on the individual covers
- Inserts etc. For example, one of the cool things about Night and Day was that it had a "Night Side" and a "Day Side" with quite different labels. As with the Floyd releases the extra labels would have been nice. Same goes for "Big World": I can live without a second disc for this one but the labels would be nice (especially given it was a 3 sided album - wasn't it?).
- Price. These work out at 2,500 yen per release. That's not expensive but it's not cheap either. If we're going to fork out 22,500 yen in one hit directly to the manufacturer it would be nice to get either a little bit more (obis) or pay less (say 2,000 per release). It's not like they're going to have a few of the less popular titles sitting unsold.

Yes, Sam, but is almost the same situation with other boxes, like Lynyrd MCA Years, Rod Stewart. Steve Winwood, etc... they don´t include the OBIs, and they do always a booklet with all the lirycs, not the individual ones.
I think that is only to prevent that the individual tittles are being sold individually or something, if not I can´t understand.
By the way, this is my first post, thanks for the updgrade and the new forum.
Cheers
Domingo

Seems like the rule of thumb is, if there's a huge OBI around the box then there's no individual OBIs on the sleeves. Ditto Joni Mitchell box.

Featured Releases (A selection of...)See all Featured 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. |
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).

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... | | |
DU-BOX226L : 2008-02-22 Big box to enclose the previous 3 slipcase promoboxes released by Disk Union to hold a total of 16 albums. |
MVCZ-40 : 1994-03-24 One of the earliest Japanese Mini LPs coming from the second batch of K2 20bit Jazz replicas released in March 1994. | | |
