CD's in replica vinyl covers

Posted by: Rasher on 05 June 2007

Quite by chance I came across the Led Zeppelin albums on Amazon that have been released in replica original album sleeves. I have the boxed set of remasters, but I couldn'r resist some of these as they are going for around just a fiver!!
I'm not sure if they are a limited edition, but I expect they are.

All that happens munch is that they reproduce the outer and inner sleeves of the original usually US isssue. Sometimes you get a remaster specially for the issue and sometimes not.

These have been around in HMV shops for a few years now and I agree they're great.

I've got a few from the likes of the Doors, Oasis, Led Zep. Shame they don't often do them on those black CDs that have fake grooves and proper labels printed on the upper face.

Have you compared them "sound" wise to other CD releases?

Sadly I only have miniLp versions of CDs I have burned from MP3. Maybe even sadder, I still can't tell much difference Red Face

As an update, these took a long time to come, but they are gorgeous. Really chuffed - especially at the price. I'm now tempted to get them all!
