The Beatles - The White Album [ Japanese Import ] OBI (Mini LP CD) Reviews:
Is this a bootleg? 
2009-08-22 - To my knowledge, the Beatles catalog has NEVER been issued in the mini-LP format from Japan. It will be soon in September, 2009, when the remasters roll out. Beware of shoddy, Russian bootlegs.
The Russian Reproduction of Japan Import "The Beatles White Album" 
2009-03-04 - I don't like using the word Fake in reference to this import. It's release was indigenous to the region for consumers in that particular area. I listened and compared the cd to other White Album cd's I have. I have no complaint on the quality. It's the packaging that really hits the mark no matter how you feel about the quality of recordings. I must agree with the others. THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN PACKAGED ALL ALONG. I feel slighted by the releases that are issued here. Even a top quality release here can't hold up to the imported packaging.
Great sound and superb packaging 
2008-12-05 - This is the way the White Album should have been packaged and released on CD in the first place. The packaging is superb with the 4 pictures of each Beatle, a miniature of the original poster and great labels (the old Apple LP label). The sound is crystal clear. A very nice collectible.

THIS WHITE ALBUM IS RUSSIAN NOT JAPANESE 
2008-10-10 - I should give 5 stars as this edition is nicely made, with all stuff accessoires that came with the original LP back in the sixties. Let's Russia show to the Western Record Companies how to present a CD album properly and that's the way it is. I give only 1 star as this album is offered as Japanese and many people DO BELIEVE it's Japanese because it LOOKS SO JAPANESE. The serial of this TOJP 7080-81 on obi strip is Japanese but for vinyl LPs only. The Japanese never had TOJP letters for CD editions (TOJP was only used for vinyl LPs) they do have TOCP, like the White Album Edition, real Japanese released from EMI 1998-11-23 with serial numbers TOCP-65200-01 and a complete different designed obi strip.
NOT JAPANESE BUT RUSSIAN !!! 
2007-05-30 -
WATCH OUT WITH THIS NEW SERIES OF BEATLES WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO BE REMASTERED AND MADE IN JAPAN.
THIS NOT THE CASE THIS IS A FALSE JAPANESE MINI LP. THEY ALL COME FROM LETHONIE ESTONIE AND RUSSIA. THE QUALITY IS OK BUT NOT GOOD AS A JAPANESE. THEY ARE A LOT OF DEFEATS IN THE OVERALL PRESENTATION. BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IT'S ABSOLUTELY NOT REMASTERED AND THE SOUND IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE ORIGINAL EVEN BELOW. ALSO THOSE CDs ARE NOT IN CLOSEABLE PLASTIC ENVELOPPE AS ALL JAPANESE CD. EVEN BRAND NEW THEY HAD SCRATCHS AND ARE NOT CLEAN.
AS A COLLECTOR OF JAPANESE MINI LP WHO BOUGHT THIS ONE I ASSURE YOU THIS IS A FAKE.
