They do things differently in Japan when it comes to 45 rpm singles. Singles aren't just for the moment - they have all the care and the legendary Japanese quality of production lavished upon them. The sleeve design isn't an afterthought - it is mini-artwork in its own right, often coming as a separate sheet of paper rather than the 'sleeve' that other markets used for 7" singles. This is not an exhaustive collection, though Tropel and David have helped it become more representative.
