Have you ever lamented the loss of one of the 20th Century’s great art forms, the 12″ vinyl LP jacket? Then “mini-LP-sleeve” CD’s may be for you. Mini-sleeve CDs are manufactured in Japan under license. The disc is packaged inside a 135MM X 135MM cardboard precision-miniature replica of the original classic vinyl-LP album. Also, anything contained in the original LP, such as gatefolds, booklets, lyric sheets, posters, printed LP sleeves, stickers, embosses, special LP cover paper/inks/textures and/or die cuts, are precisely replicated and included. An English-language lyric sheet is always included, even if the original LP did not have printed lyrics. Then, there’s the sonic quality: Mini-sleeves have dedicated remastering (20-Bit, 24-Bit, DSD, K2/K2HD, and/or HDCD), and can often be superior to the audio on the same title anywhere else in the world. There also may be bonus tracks unavailable elsewhere. Each Japan mini-sleeve has an “obi” (“oh-bee”), a removable Japan-language promotional strip. The obi lists the Japan street date of that particular release, the catalog number, the mastering info, and often the original album’s release date. Bonus tracks are only listed on the obi, maintaining the integrity of the original LP artwork. The obi’s are collectable, and should not be discarded. All mini-sleeve releases are tremendously limited editions mainly pressed on future orders only and once released immediately out of print. This fact along with other latter features we’ve mentioned make these titles rare collectibles that sell in the collectors markets for $100’s of dollars apiece. Japanese digitally re-mastered Mini LP replica Limited Edition Collection with OBI sash down the front – only VERY FEW pieces made world-wide and are immediately Out of Print. Recorded from the finest Original Masters available. Comes with anti-static sleeves similar to Vinyl LPs, Cardboard packaging like an LP.

Pressed at RTI! While already having street credibility due to their years supporting a plethora of gold and platinum artists (Steely Dan, Boz Scaggs, Chicago), the debut album from TOTO simply titled TOTO catapulted the power quintet into major arena rock status as they accumulated a ton of hit singles and gold and platinum album awards on this 1979 masterpiece. Upon its release, TOTO flew into the upper rungs of the rock and pop music charts with the power rocker Hold The Line. Filled with its catchy hooks, brilliant vocal and guitar work from maestro Steve Lukather, and the familiar Bobby Kimball high energy lead vocals, this amazing debut single has become a classic rock staple. Adding the stellar piano work from David Paich and Steve Porcaro, the song truly resonated with its huge audience, and broke wide open the importance of both the band and their great new album. Produced by TOTO (David Paich, Steve Lukather, Jeff Porcaro, Steve Porcaro, Bobby Kimball, David Hungate) TOTO was a watershed venture for the band as its ten champion tunes have all truly stood the test of time. Aside from the massive top charting Hold The Line there were more classics abound like the follow up power rocker I’ll Supply The Love, the soulful fare of Georgy Porgy featuring the great Cheryl Lynn on vocals, plus even more brilliant album tracks like Angela, Rockmaker and Manuela Run. Friday Music is no stranger to the important musical catalogs of TOTO, therefore, it is with much honor to continue the Friday Music TOTO 180 Gram Audiophile Vinyl Series with the latest installment with their history making debut album TOTO.

Music snobs love to deride Toto as exemplars of MOR, radio-ready commercial product, a criticism not entirely off the mark for a supergroup formed by high-profile studio musicians intent on mixing pop styles into a glossy, accessible package. But Toto weren’t all chops and no substance, especially when it came to writing memorable pop songs, as one listen to their hugely successful 1978 self-titled debut will attest. Whether squeezing nursery rhymes into smooth grooves (“Georgy Porgy”), mixing funky verses with anthemic choruses (“I’ll Supply the Love”), or honing their focus to unleash some genuine rock & roll here and there (the hit single “Hold the Line”), Toto crafted smart hooks and made them stick, wrapping them in a guitar/keys-heavy sound that straddled soft rock, hard rock, and lite R&B. Consequently, their debut made significant strides in sales and radio play. In fact, anyone within earshot of a radio in the ’70s will recognize the aforementioned mentioned songs, Toto has been putting out albums for over 20 years now, and I have virtually all of them. All are very enjoyable in different ways, and this one is no exception. This is simply classic, melodic late ’70s rock at its best. Everyone knows their first ever huge hit “Hold The Line”, which to me is one of the best rock tracks in history with its catchy keyboards, crunching guitars, and soulful, melodic vocals. But the rest of the album is also fantastic. To me, standouts include the leadoff instrumental “Child’s Anthem”, “I’ll Supply The Love” with it’s very rocking guitar riff, the unique “Manuela Run”, and the surprising closing track “Angela”, which starts off as a ballad but builds into a hard guitar riff and rocking chorus. This entire album is worth a listen. Must-have for Toto fans and strongly recommended for melodic/classic rock fans. 1. Child’s Anthem 2. I’ll Supply the Love 3. Georgy Porgy 4. Manuela Run 5.
