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

The Who's ringmaster Pete Townshend and the Faces' bass man Ronnie Lane took their mutual admiration society to its obvious conclusion on this 1977 all-star effort (with guest appearances from guitarist Eric Clapton, Stones' drummer Charlie Watts, and Bad Co. bassist Boz Burrell). Overall it's an appropriately loose-limbed and rocking affair, with some good tunes traded back and forth (namely Pete's "My Baby Gives It Away" and Ronnie's "Annie"). It's also a little schizophrenic, though; with Townshend's sculpted song structures occasionally at odds with Lane's back porch ditties. There's surprisingly little vocal interplay either; although the one real duet, a hushed take of Don Williams's "Till the Rivers All Run Dry," is the clear highlight of the set.

Pete Townshend & Ronnie Lane Rough Mix Half-Speed Mastered 180 GRAM LIMITED EDITION LP (Red Vinyl)
Limited Edition 180 GRAM Red Vinyl LP! Half-Speed Mastered at Abbey Road Studios!
Rough Mix features guitarist Pete Townshend (The Who) and bassist Ronnie Lane (Small Faces, Faces). On the Billboard 200, the album reached number 44 in the UK and number 45 in the US after its release in September 1977. What began as an outreach from Ronnie Lane to Pete Townshend to help prouce his next album ended up blossoming into a team effort between the two for a collaborative album.
"The glory of this album and of the work of Pete Townshend and Ronnie Lane throughout their careers is that art and the deepest spiritual aspiration are completely intertwined. Often, of course, that makes for a rough mix, and a rougher life. But it's worth the turbulence, for it touches closer to the heart of the rock & roll experience than almost anything I know." - Dave Marsh, Rolling Stone
"Rough Mix, Pete Townshend's 1977 collaboration with former Small Faces and Faces songwriter and bass player Ronnie Lane, combines the loose, rollicking folk-rock of Lane's former band, Slim Chance, with touches of country, folk, and New Orleans rock & roll, along with Townshend's own trademark style. Lane's tunes, especially the beautiful 'Annie,' possess an understated charm, while Townshend, with songs such as 'Misunderstood,' the Meher Baba-inspired 'Keep Me Turning,' and the strange love song 'My Baby Gives It Away,' delivers some of the best material of his solo career. Rough Mix stands as a minor masterpiece and an overlooked gem in both artists' vast bodies of work. Eric Clapton, John Entwistle, and Charlie Watts guest." - Brett Hartenbach, AllMusic
