How large are mini LP replicas? E-mail
Dark Side of the Moon from the Oh By The Way Box set

Japanese and most other mini LP replicas are usually 13.5cm by 13.5cm (5 3/8 inches square). They are slightly taller than (but about the same depth as) standard "jewel case" releases (which are not square).

The thickness depends on the type of cover.  A single sleeve cover (one that does not open out) is quite thin (about 2-3mm thin). Gatefolds are more than double this on the spine (about 6-7mm or thicker).  Some covers are thicker still as they have a large number of inserts or are tri-fold (or more - such as "Yes - Yessongs" which is 1.3cm thick at the spine).

Some non-Japanese replicas are larger in all dimensions (such as "Neil Young - Harvest").

There are also some Japanese replicas that are larger such as "Curved Air - Ariconditioning").
