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 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, 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, it will often include the lyrics, which is a big plus if the original LP did not include them. 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 sort of discount. 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. 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, have soft CD sleeves, and come in re-sealable clear plastic sleeves. (On occasion we purchase an extremely uncommon replica CD that is only in near mint condition. Such diversions from our high standards are duly noted in the item description.)

Did you sell your albums years ago and regret that you no longer have the lyrics, inserts, poster, or other special goodies that were included? Do you miss the beauty of the LP format? Did you look at your LPs for hours on end while you listened to such classics? Did you buy imports from the UK or Japan of Led Zeppelin, ELP, Genesis, Jethro Tull, The Moody Blues, Gentle Giant, Yes, The Beatles, Gong, Tangerine Dream, The Who, Zappa, and Pink Floyd because the packaging and the pressings were superior in every way to the US version? Are you tired of plastic cases that scratch and break, and that you have to look through to see the cheaply printed inserts? Replica CDs can change all this for you. Toss away your inferior CDs and start or add to your collection of these state of the art albums today.

Hast Du die King Crimson-Box schon bekommen?
Falls ja, würde ich hierzu gerne einige Fragen stellen.

Der Obi sieht hier ganz anders aus, daher erkenne ich das!

Allerdings ist der WAF dieser schnuckeligen Teile schon aus optischen Gründe seeehr hoch, meiner Frau gefällt es.

Mini-LP-->adäquate Anlage-->adäquate LS-->adäquate Röhren-->mehr Mini-LPs um die Investitionen auch zu nutzen

kannst du mir bitte den link reinstellen, wo du sie her hast? Das ist eine meine Lieblingsscheiben. Sie ist als normale CD schon außergewöhnlich gut - aber den Spaß würde ich mir auch gönnen!
