[Encore Pressing] The Beatles [Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)] [SHM-CD] [Limited Release] Customer Reviews

First off, this is NOT an audiophile review. I am reviewing this release from a purely aesthetic point of view. This stereo THE BEATLES mini LP SHM-CD is excellent! The laminated LP cover, embossed title, and gatefold jacket are perfect, and the extras are beautifully reproduced. Overall, this release is almost identical to the Mono Box counterpart, except the mono back cover is completely white, while the stereo features a small "Stereo" label in the top right corner and UICY-76975/6 on the bottom right. The one flaw many of the mini LPs in this set unfortunately feature is not an issue with this release. The title on the spine is flawless. This encore release features a resealable outer sleeve with a blue sticker (as opposed to the 1st pressing red sticker), a nice OBI, the 2009 booklet identical to the one released with the digipak version, and an additional booklet with song lyrics in English. Also included are rice paper sleeves and the reproduced black inner sleeves to house the discs themselves. Disc 1 features a reproduced whole APPLE label, and disc 2 features the cut APPLE label. You also get reproductions of the poster and 4 individual portrait photos included with the original UK LP. Overall, a great collectable; a highlight of this series!
