Now I've got the question, has someone all re-issues in jewel case? I saw on sony japan website, that together backs of the cases look just like that:

Can anyone confirm that?

Yes, I can confirm this. I haven't bought all CDs, but that's what you get when you buy all THE JACKSONS (7 volumes) and MICHAEL JACKSON (6 volumes) re-issues.
THE JACKSONS' first album "The Jacksons" (1976) is volume 1, MICHAEL JACKSONS's album "INVINCIBLE (2001)" is volume 13. ;)


And this is the sticker you'll get with every FIRST PRESSING:

But the Legacy rereleases for Thriump / Destiny with those bonus remixes are not really different in volume....

It's an AUDIOPHILE digital remaster which means the dynamics of each song are still intact.

They haven't made everything as loud as possible, but trust me, the sound quality is excellent and it's not comparable with the old CDs.

"Torture" e.g. sounds excellent, you'll hear fine details you cannot even hear on the compilation THE VERY BEST OF THE JACKSONS (2004) because that was a pure loudness remaster, not an audiophile remaster.

So I guess the Japanese will sound the same as the Legacy releases because they used that master I think ? ? ?
 
OK, so I have to search for the jewelcase release from 2010... because I dislike cardboard sleeve.... They might damage.
 
are these on sale anywhere in UK? (and not for stupidly expensive prices)... anyone...???
 
I don't think so and on top of that the Japanese site charges 60 pounds for p&p...

Regarding external bonuses... they are suppose to give some kind of 'stickers' with first presses, you don't know anything about that? nothing special i guess:D Take a look:

If I knew it before, I'd buy the first press, 'cause I really like this pic of MJ :wub:
 
Oh my goodness £60.00 for postage, what a blummin rip off, there is no way they weigh that much!
 
^ to my knowledge only the FIRST PRESSINGS of the JEWEL CASE CDs come with a sticker

Does someone know if the bonus tracks on destiny are the real long versions ?

They are the original John Luongo Mixes, that were simply called "Extended Mix", "Special 12'' Mix" etc. at that time.
 
I recieved the jewel cases released in Japan in June, but is it ok some jewel cases are a bit thicker then normal???? Why is it??? Is it because the booklet are thicker or what??? Just 4 albums or something....
 
The Jacksons albums are a bit louder and sounds like they have more body (bass sounds). Also the MJ albums sounds more body compair to the 2001 releases

After all mini LPs in paper sleeve albums, now I couldn't resist but buy all those in jewel cases. The backs of obi strips look really cool:)
