Sony Music Japan is doing this apparently.
they did it with Oasis as well, but no bonus tracks. Here's how they look:

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.

Wow. A rare instance when I'm glad to be an Asian Manics fan. Shipping will be cheaper for me. Just might get Everything Live and Lifeblood.

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..

Just think Sony: you release these re-releases over here and you'll make more money.

I wonder if this is finally the chance to get hold of all those songs released only on vinyl/cassette in CD quality at last? Would be good to know before investing.
