Jellyfish: Japanese mini-LP SHM-CDs

Omnivore’s Jellyfish deluxe reissues were great, but the packaging wasn’t really as good as it could have been, with the widescreen gatefold cover image used on the 1990 LP of Bellybutton missing completely! Thankfully, the Japanese versions embrace the detail and spirit of the originals.

As can be seen from the image above the Japanese mini-LP CD aka ‘vinyl replica’ aka ‘paper sleeve’ issue of Bellybutton does indeed boast some rather sexy presentation and replicates the original vinyl gatefold.

Spilt Milk looks similarly desirable and these come with accurate inner sleeves and wraparound OBIs.

Both of these releases are SHM-CDs and both are two-CD sets that replicate the Omnivore deluxe track listings.

The Japanese mini-LP CD versions of the two Jellyfish albums are out on 25 March 2015
