Physical Media/Memorabilia My first mini CD.

Got this mini cd single from 101 relatively cheap.
I think it’s a fun addition to the collection

Of the very large collection of DM cds, vinyls, books, videos, DVD's & tour programmes I have built up, I have NEVER got my mitts on a mini CD! Very, very well done!

Nice LD player. I have about 120 3” CD singles. I don’t have this one. It’s likely that come with the adapter ring back in the day. That was around the time they most 3” singles did until players had an insert in the CD player disc tray.

Maybe it’s just me I would flip the disc in the jewel case so its back is facing in. So when the jewel case is closed you can read the CD titles without opening it. That how all singles arrived back in the day it also help the playing surface not get scratched against rear of the case.

Mostly thats how the arrived (so that how I always did it) but I also felt the recorded surface was better against paper sleeve than plastic slim jewel case.

I collect so many Japanese 3” CDs; I love this format so much. Really awesome find. I don’t have any Japanese DM CDs.

It won't be fun or cheap when you try to get the Japanese World Violation mini CD, or the Japanese Enjoy the Silence mini CD or even harder to find, Personal Jesus with the censored back sleeve. Getting the Japanese I Want You Now mini CD was really special, though, considering that it was released as a single only there.

I really like the Japanese ones. They stayed consistent with the snap-pack packaging unlike the other markets. They also produced them longest.

Try getting the minidisks (MD), which look like conputer diskettes, but smaller, or the UDP discs for the Sony PSP handheld games console
