Japanese CD's


I have been very impressed with the fidelity of Japanese pressed redbook CD's. Is there a difference between those that are sold as just imports and those that are sold as "mini LP's"? Which type has the OBI strips, or do both?

Wazzup All!

When CD's were introduced I was able to find many Japanese imports at Tower Records in NYC. From labels like Canyon and Electric Bird featuring a lot of the NYC session aces. I've got 2 Bob Mintzer CD's featuring the Brecker Bros. and Jaco Pastorious that pre-date his 1st DMP Big Band release. I've got 2 by pianist Jorge Dalto feat. George Benson. I remember reading something in Billboard about restrictions regarding imported CD's and soon afterwards the well dried up at Tower. Anybody else have releases from these labels?, let's trade!
