Santana - Lotus

CSCS-5434 (1991)

This is arguably the first "replica cover" but the release is not regarded as a Mini LP as the replica cover was provided in addition to the standard fat 2CD jewel case.

Editor Comments

Exploration has a thing called "Lotus Legend" dated as released on 91/3/29 but no code. I think this is that thing. It has a mini LP cover but the 2 CDs (not 3) come in a jewel case.

There is a C2K46764 released on 91/2/26 - this is not that.

There is also a 5099746794323 which is just normal jewel case.
