Looking to buy Triumvirat - Illusions on a Double Dimple.
Amazon has two options, one is the 2002 CD release for ~$16, the other is a 2008 import release with "(mlps)" in the title, for $50. Should it really be worth that much more? Is it a higher quality or what?

I believe "MLPS" is referring to the mini-LP CD version.
This is a CD that's made to resemble a miniature vinyl LP. From the cardboard sleeve to the inside plastic sleeve, everything is downsized to CD proportions. Some of the CDs are even black in color on the data side of the disc.
The mini-LP CD is generally released in Japan and many titles received remastering as well. As for whether the remastering is good or otherwise, it depends on individual titles.
Check out this website for more information on mini-LP CDs. -

That is exactly what it means.Political Correctness'.........defined
"A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t-u-r-d by the clean end."
