 WHAT IS A JAPAN "MINI/REPLICA-LP-SLEEVE" CD?

Have you ever lamented the loss of one of the 20th Century's great art forms, the 12" vinyl LP jacket? Then "mini-LP-sleeve" CD's may be for you.

Mini-sleeve CDs are manufactured in Japan under license. The disc is packaged inside a 135MM X 135MM cardboard precision-miniature replica of the original classic vinyl-LP album. Also, anything contained in the original LP, such as gatefolds, booklets, lyric sheets, posters, printed LP sleeves, stickers, embosses, special LP cover paper/inks/textures and/or die cuts, are precisely replicated and included. An English-language lyric sheet is always included, even if the original LP did not have printed lyrics.

Then, there's the sonic quality: Mini-sleeves have dedicated remastering (20-Bit, 24-Bit, DSD, K2/K2HD, and/or HDCD), and can often be superior to the audio on the same title anywhere else in the world. There also may be bonus tracks unavailable elsewhere.

Each Japan mini-sleeve has an "obi" ("oh-bee"), a removable Japan-language promotional strip. The obi lists the Japan street date of that particular release, the catalog number, the mastering info, and often the original album's release date. Bonus tracks are only listed on the obi, maintaining the integrity of the original LP artwork. The obi's are collectable, and should not be discarded.

All mini-sleeve releases are tremendously limited editions mainly pressed on future orders only and once released immediately out of print. This fact along with other latter features we've mentioned make these titles rare collectibles that sell in the collectors markets for $100's of dollars apiece.

RAINBOW THE POLYDOR YEARS 1975 - 1986 OBI BOX SET WITH THESE 9 TITLES - ALL Limited Edition Japanese pressings of this albums comes housed in a miniature LP sleeve

Rainbow was formed by Deep Purple axeman Richie Blackmore in 1975. He was joined by Elf members Ronnie James Dio (vocals) and Mickey Lee Soule (keyboards), Craig Gruber (bass) and Gary Driscoll (drums). The line-up was to change many times over the life of the band; several of the best known British heavy rock musicians spent time in the band.

Elf had been a support band with Purple and, during that time, Blackmore and Dio started to write and work together. Such was the rapport, that Elf was effectively dissolved and Rainbow rose from the ashes. The result was debut album Richie Blackmore's Rainbow, released in 1975.

After that album, Blackmore replaced the entire band except Dio, recruiting Cozy Powell (drums), Jimmy Bain (bass) and Tony Carey (keyboards). Together they released Rising (1976), but, once again, everybody was fired after the album, except Dio and Powell. After the following album Long Live Rock 'n' Roll (1978), Blackmore announced that he planned to move the band into more commercial territory and away from the 'fantasy' themes beloved of Dio. Dio left and Black Sabbath were the next recipients of his vocal talents.

Rainbow's next vocalist was Graham Bonnet and it was at this point that former Deep Purple bassist Roger Glover joined the team for a short while. Down to Earth (1979), the next album, was the origin of two hit singles "All Night Long" and "Since You Been Gone".
