Probably Culture Factory releases. They tend to be mini LP format.
The Tammi CD is interesting.

Here is the translation of one:

Tammi Terrell's only album. Irresistible was released in January 1969 ... a year before his tragic death due to a brain tumor.

OK I may have to wait on this one because I am not sure how they are different from what I already have.

Well, we have LAST TIME I SAW HIM as an expanded remastered edition. Regarding Tammi, although we have a full remastered anthology, "perhaps" the paper sleeve CD might be interesting to own. We will need more information.

They tend to be straight CD releases with no extra tracks [[although I think the US Tammi CD did have one or two tracks more than the LP version). The only difference is that the CD is vinyl replica with a Motown label, comes with an inner sleeve and a card outer sleeve replicating the LP cover.

Ross LTISH is already available too as a Japanese mini LP version.

Here's an example of a Culture Factory CD [[the strip down the left of the front cover is not a permanent feature - the cover is as per the album and the strip is a bit like a Japanese OBI).
