If you haven't heard Dominick Farinacci yet you should.

The Venus CDs are all "reissues" of recent releases in a different format - ?paper sleeves, ?hybrids (I'm not sure). They're available in jewel cases with the same music for a lot less.

Yep, they're all mini-lps.....but there are already mini-lp copies of several of these that are still available (Alexander, Rachel Z, etc) for 2,260-2,500 Yen depending. I think these new ones will be gold discs.
