About Replica Mini-LP CDs:
Replica CDs are official audiophile releases manufactured in Japan with incredible attention to detail. CDs made in Japan are revered by collectors and specialists for their very clean sound, production quality, and they are superior in nearly every way to pressings from other countries. The Japanese packaging of classic albums in cardboard sleeve miniature is a wonder to behold. Mini-LP CD albums are like precious stones or perfectly cut diamonds. The superb mastering (often 20 Bit, 24 Bit, K2, DSD, or HDCD) and resultant sound quality is superior to that of MFSL releases. Replicas are often the nearly exact duplications of the first pressings of the 12" LPs and everything that was present in the original LP may be included such as gatefolds, booklets, lyric sheets, posters, printed CD sleeves, stickers, embosses, special paper or inks, and die cuts. In nearly all replica releases a detail sheet is included, and although the text may be in Japanese, the insert will often include the lyrics in English, which is a big plus if the original LP did not include them. Japan promotional strips, also called OBI, are usually included with the package as a way of advertising the CD to the Japanese buying public. On occasion a replica CD will have bonus tracks included that were part of a later CD release. However, the notes about the bonus tracks are never added to the album artwork, only the promotional strip or the detail sheet. Thus the integrity of the original LP artwork is maintained.
Replica CDs are not officially for sale outside Japan, but they are worth the trouble and cost to get them. Replica CDs are expensive in Japan. New releases of replica CDs cost anywhere from $20 to $40 a piece and Japanese law forbids putting "new" CDs on sale or selling at any price other than listed on the Obi (promotional strip). Most replica CDs are manufactured in a limited quantity and sell out quite quickly after release. Because of this replica CDs are splendid keepsakes that hold their value and will likely continue to be items sought by collectors.
We make every effort not to buy any CD that is not in Mint Condition, which means nearly new. Sometimes the CDs we buy are still sealed, although we do not always note this because in many cases there is very little difference between still sealed and mint condition. Buying and selling only mint condition replica CDs means that there is no guesswork about the quality of the item that you are buying. It makes no sense to set out piles of cash to purchase an expensive replica CD that is not in nearly new condition. So, rest assured that all the replica CDs we sell are in mint condition, have no scratches on the disc or excessive rubbing on the cardboard cover, have soft CD sleeves, and come in clear plastic sleeves that can be resealed. (On rare occasions we may purchase an extremely uncommon replica CD that is only in near mint condition and offer it for sale. Such diversions from our high standards are duly noted in the item description.)
