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. E-BAY STORE .

It was a real dream of Iggy’s to have each included on the album, but unfortunately Williamson’s ignorance got in the way. Despite Williamson’s walk out, Pat Moran did an above average job fill-in in for Williamson, and the album was a big success for Iggy. Now, Iggy had his sights set on a pop album. It wasn’t easy for him to make a pop album. Remember, Iggy was the one that gained his popularity with The “outrageous” Stooges. His trademark had been to appear on stage shirtless, and was one of the first to be comfortable enough to jump into the crowd. I believe his goal had been, ever since he had formed The Stooges, was to make a full circle in his musical career. To make early punk albums, and then turn to pop. This idea really hit full swing when he found out his great friend David Bowie shared the same ambition. (That word happens to be a track on the album “Soldier.”) “Party,” I don’t believe, is a true pop album. Iggy knew that as long as he was signed to Arista Records, he was not going to get the coverage and support he needed to make a very popular album. This would have to wait until 1986 when he was signed to A&M, and where he collaborated with David Bowie to make “Blah Blah Blah.” “Party” starts with a delightful and fun track called ‘Pleasure.’ ‘Rock And Roll Party’ is another fine track that leads into the oddly named ‘Eggs On Plate.’ The name of this song reminds me of a lyric in a Brian Eno song, off the album “Another Green World.” It’s the lyric, “Perhaps my brain(s) are old and scrambled, oh my!” Although the word “egg” is not uttered, scrambled is and I think Iggy have found some motivation in that strong Brian Eno lyric. ‘Sincerity’ is a song where Iggy is found pleading with his girlfriend to stay. ‘Houston Is Hot Tonight’ talks of the ‘Rock And Roll Party.’ Tracks 2, 3, and 4 all center on the same idea and topic. They all also deal with action and consequence. An idea Iggy has not always grasped. ‘Pumpin’ For Jill’ is Iggy being a slave. Although not a work slave, if you know what I mean. ‘Happy Man’ is one of favorites on “Party,” along with the following track, ‘Bang Bang.’ ‘Bang Bang,’ which was later covered by David Bowie on this 1987 album “Never Let Me Down,” is a very sincere and simple song. I’m sorry to say that Bowie’s version is not near as sincere and simple as Iggy’s, although still good. ‘Sea of Love’ is just an excellent love song. From the lyrics to the tune, you can’t go wrong with ‘Sea of Love.’ ‘Time Won’t Let Me’ is a very successful cover of a timeless classic. Again, each of the bonus tracks included on “Party” are superb choices and would have been a perfect fit for the original cut 1. Pleasure 2. Rock and Roll Party 3. Eggs on Plate 4. Sincerity 5.
