 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. |
 ARC-7003 : 2002-03-27 Rare Italian Progressive rock album from the Trident label. Images for this release show two different types of obis for original (sticker) and reprints (paper) of this release. |
 UICY-93980 : 2009-02-25 Rod's first 'greatest hits' album with a fantastic, die-cut sleeve. |
 UICY-9522 (fake) : Here is a comparison between a genuine official copy of Aerosmith Pump made by Universal and a Russian counterfeit copy. In the picture, the real one is on the left and the fake is on the right. |
 UICY-93013-38 : 2006-03-16 2006 (reprinted at least once) release of Stones albums from the earliest days up to 1975. Does not include the early 70s releases. Each album included a collector card. The backs of the cards, when laid side by side, formed the cover image of "Their Satanic Majesties Request". |
 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. |
