What's a "mini LP sleeve"?

Cardboard cover with a slit in one end?

The phrase "paper jacket specification", and the fact that it's Japanese, leads me to think it'll be one of their vinyl replica releases. They're quite common in Japan. Effectively a very detailed recreation of the original LP sleeve, only in miniature. They're normally made using high quality heavyweight card to match the original LP sleeve, and tend to have replicas of all the inner-sleeves, if applicable. Although they're CD-sized, they're still somewhat bigger than your average card sleeve. Here's my copy of Pink Floyd's Meddle compared to one of the card sleeves from NTS Sessions:

I have quite a few of them, and they're hands down my favourite art style for CD releases. Quite why the jewel case was invented is beyond me.

i’m kind of dumb and/or lazy, is this coming out i’m not-Japan? or is it a Japan only thing and i’d have her it as an import or whatever?

Thanks for the explanation - one more question though - which of these four are Sean and Rob? I thought AE was just the two of them; who are these other guys...?

Another correct answer (and possibly a bit more appropriate) are Mike and Marcus

Roger Waters and Richard D James both played at the same festival in 2008 so that Pink Floyd photo is on topic.

Did I need this?

No.

Did I just order this?

Yes.

Looks pretty cool.

Wish WAP146 would get an actual release on wax.

Got the JP mini rerelease today that was super fast. Quoth hidden mix may actually be on there after all.
