Joe Jackson A&M Years 16 Years, 7 Months ago Karma: 2  
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.


  1. No obis on the individual covers

  2. 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?).

  3. 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.

Front cover (main) image of TOCP-65883 : Jethro Tull : Thick As A Brick +2
TOCP-65883 : 2001-10-31
The undisputed classic Jethro Tull album. The first full length concept album from Ian Anderson and, according the official web site, "a rock first: one continuous song on both sides"
Front cover (main) image of WPCR-13142 (fake) : Led Zeppelin : Fake Led Zeppelin - 40th Anniversary Definitive Collection (Zoso Box)
WPCR-13142 (fake) : 2009-01-01

This fake Led Zeppelin 40th Anniversary appears to be made in China. You would find it hard to pick a sealed copy of this as being anything other than than the real deal.

Inside it is also remarkably similar but has some significant, obvious differences in packaging including: (a) the CD comes in a flimsy loose fitting bag (b) Physical Graffiti has no cut out windows and (c) III (3) has no turning wheel.

The CDs also have the tell tale extra ring in the middle but this is much better disguised than usual.

Unusually for fakes these have the catalogue number and an IFPI code (CC 303) on the silver side of the disc.

 
Front cover (main) image of BVCM-37083 : Presley, Elvis : Elvis Presley
BVCM-37083 : 2000-01-08
This is the eponymous first album from Elvis Presley. It is the first rock & roll album to reach number one on the national charts (holding at number 1 for 20 weeks) and the first million dollar selling pop album.
Front cover (main) image of SF-303 : Flower Travellin' Band : Make Up
SF-303 : 2004-12-20
Highly unusual packaging - a fake leather attache breifcase / portfolio.
 
Front cover (main) image of UICY-93980 : Stewart, Rod : Sing It Again Rod +5
