Police (The) - Ghost Authorised Universal Phoney Japanese Mini LP

UICY-9319x (2008)

Hard to know how to classify this and the other Universal official releases like this.

They have been sighted in England, Australia and Spain in late 2007 early 2008 and look to the uneducated like the real thing. They come complete with what looks like the original obi and a Japanese lyric sheet even though they are not allowed to be sold in Japan!

So far we've seen Police, Hendrix and Elton John - all Universal releases.

At least one of the Elton John's (Captain Fantastic) does not include the full set of inserts.
Out of print (but other items from this artist may be available)

* Reprint date is pretty hit and miss (especially older releases). If there's a date it's probably correct but if there's no date there still may have been a reprint. If one mini in a sequential range of minis for one artist has been reprinted then the chances are they all were. The date shown here is the most recent one we know of.
Reprints usually have the obi identical to the original Mini (including release date), often have different stickers on the bag and occasionally have different inserts.
