All releases are set for 13th May (same day as the new album in Japan). No idea if these are all Japan only or what the extras are (possibly just b-sides?).

My credit card bill for May is so utterly fucked.

www.101cd.com was selling them for around £13 each i also got a fair few from amazon etc I got the empty EMI promo box off ebay for around £45 well worth it when there completed.. I really want to collect the Roxy Music , smiths Oasis and Clash ones but thats when it becomes more of a challenge

I've just had the following 3 thoughts..

1) Will everything Live finally be the full gig?
2) Will it have any extras on it? Like rehersal/soundcheck footage or maybe even tour vids?
3) Will the b-sides be remastered?

I'm guessing no to all the above but good god it'd be genius..

I'll await them coming over here which they probably will, actually all i want is Everything on DVD.

Have nearly everything else.

and some info:

Replica CDs are official audiophile releases manufactured in Japan with incredible attention to detail. CDs made in Japan are revered by collectors and specialists for their very clean sound, production quality, and they are superior in nearly every way to pressings from other countries.

The Japanese packaging of classic albums in cardboard sleeve miniature is a wonder to behold. Mini-LP CD albums are like precious stones or perfectly cut diamonds.

The superb mastering (often 20 Bit, 24 Bit, K2, DSD, or HDCD) and resultant sound quality is superior to that of MFSL releases.

Replicas are often the nearly exact duplications of the first pressings of the 12" LPs and everything that was present in the original LP may be included such as gatefolds, booklets, lyric sheets, posters, printed CD sleeves, stickers, embosses, special paper or inks, and die cuts.

In nearly all replica releases a detail sheet is included, and although the text may be in Japanese, the insert will often include the lyrics in English, which is a big plus if the original LP did not include them. Japan promotional strips, also called OBI, are usually included with the package as a way of advertising the CD to the Japanese buying public.

On occasion a replica CD will have bonus tracks included that were part of a later CD release. However, the notes about the bonus tracks are never added to the album artwork, only the promotional strip or the detail sheet. Thus the integrity of the original LP artwork is maintained.

Replica CDs are not officially for sale outside Japan, but they are worth the trouble and cost to get them. Replica CDs are expensive in Japan. New releases of replica CDs cost anywhere from $20 to $40 a piece and Japanese law forbids putting "new" CDs on sale or selling at any price other than listed on the Obi (promotional strip).

Most replica CDs are manufactured in a limited quantity and sell out quite quickly after release. Because of this replica CDs are splendid keepsakes that hold their value and will likely continue to be items sought by collectors.



yes. these fuckers are expensive, cant find any on ebay for less than $30 or so.

Doesn't it only mention EMG remaster specifically, though?

Where did you read that? The description for each album on the cdjapan website is:

Japan exclusive cardboard sleeve reissue from Manic Street Preachers featuring 2009 remastering and new design Japanese Obi. Includes bonus CD with rare audio, booklet, and application card (only valid in Japan). Part of a eight-album Manic Street Preachers cardboard sleeve reissue series featuring the albums "Generation," "Gold Against The Soul," "The Holy Bible," "Everything Must Go," "This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours," "Know Your Enemy," "Lifeblood," and "Send Away The Tigers."

Why would they only remaster EMG in 2009 when they already did that one in 2006? (One answer to that question would be, the 2006 EMG remaster was useless and the stings, bass and drums were all still just as muffled as they were in the original - second time lucky, perhaps!)
