Korean Mini LP releases 14 Years, 1 Month ago Karma: 0  
Any of you ever bought a Korean mini LP ? They look pretty good on the web - but how about the quality of printing and the sound ? I don't know the quality standards. The prices are pretty good and they have stuff that is hard to get sometimes.

Yes, I have some not released at Japan, like Lookaftering from Bashti Bunyan. And the first 14 released by Universal (blue and white obi) of classic albums: Hendrix, Elton John, Rolling S, Police, Cream, Dreke & D, Marley, Clapton, S. Wonder. These are nice but not as good quality of the same albums released in Japan.

I have bought some too and they are fine. I can't really comment on the sound - although I do have Goodbye Yellow Brick Road so I should so a comparison (I plan to create a photo page with all the versions I know of including "official fake", Koyean, Russian (real fake), Japanese, SHM, another?). I'll have a closer look at covers when I do that (sigh - if only I had the time). Sam.

I've just received this mini LP from Korea : The Shiver - Walpurgis. I must say that the item is quite well made : gatefold, textured cover, 2 sided poster and of course the disc itself, silkscreened and all. Very nice presentation and the sound is just great as well.

Front cover (main) image of Caroline-2008 : Various Artists : Caroline Records 2009 US 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.

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.
