Thanks for the link! Good site that, I like the look of the Goblin box :)

So... with these being WB ones there will be no box? I guess that is for the best, those Bowie boxes just got stupid. There were nearly more of them than the albums!

Who is making your bespoke box for the Alice discs?

I've had a few for DVDs from Paul Champagne which were very nice, but none for CDs.

I have a contact in Thailand who works in the graphic industry who makes it.

It was unexpected BUT there will be official boxes released by Disk Union! I am so happy, this makes this ultimate CD edition perfect and complete for me!

There will be a "Billion Dollar Babies" designed box: Disk Union Billion Dollar Babies Box Set
And a "Welcome To My Nightmare" designed box: Disk Union Welcome To My Nightmare Box Set

Yes,

just back from the fantastic show in Brussels, the email from my dealer in Japan confirms that there will be two boxes like mentioned in the above post.
This is certainly UNEXPECTED!! but very welcome.

Remember that these boxes will be available if you take all of the mini's that come along with it.
Empty boxes (so no mini lp cd inside) are only LATER available through private sale on Ebay but I must warn you that those boxes aren't produced in large numbers so if you want one for a reasonable price BUY them NOW.
Or pay TOP price for them later on Ebay.
I know many fellow mini lp collectors who aren't devoted Alice Cooperfans who buy them only for the terrific artwork.

I just don't get it why Warner didn't released ALL of the albums. Nothing after FTI, strange?

Yes, even Prince MiniLPs didn't have any box!

That's right, empty boxes may be available on eBay later at a high price (well, empty but at about the same price as if the CDs were in!). But in preorder, it may be possible to find reliable sellers on eBay that will sell the whole set at a reasonnable price.
For me I secured my preorder in ordering to Disk Union directly with help of a friend.

About the four last WB albums missing (Flush The Fashion, Special Forces, Zipper Catches Skin and DaDa), I would have been thrilled if they have been part of this release! But I guess that they have been put aside as this albums were less successfull as the previous ones. I often don't understand WB politic…

I've waited for this MiniLPs release for years so I'm already very happy! Maybe if this release is a huge success, there will be a reissue with the missing albums?…

Hope so, DaDa is my second favorite after Muscle of Love.

I'm starting to worry about how much this is going to cost me now :)

Could be around 400 quid for a box full couldn't it?

I have pre-ordered them for total : 400 euro's for getting two packages with EMS post.
I don't think you can get any lower in pre-order. My contact in Japan takes always about 10% for himself.

For 400 quid you can get TWO boxes and ALL the mini's + postage.

Well they arrived today and im delighted with them. Its funny seeing the little pair of pants on the cd :) Im no audiophile but sound wise i would say they are slightly better quality than whats already out there. They sound like to gold editions that were out but slightly louder.

Yeah I missed the post too but luckly they left them with my neighbour. These are the first time I have ever bought these mini Lps but I am well pleased with them, I can see why people end up collecting them.

Someone posted this link on Hoffman site about how they reverse engineered the original LPs to create the Mini LPs.

It's translated so keep that in mind:

Anymore info on the sound quality of these remasters over the original?

I am thinking about ordering GTH, L&W amd FTI.
