Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1969 ) of his early compilation album, comin' with an insert ( English lyric sheet ). The cover is different in design on front, showing "Japanese liner notes" & "the track-list ( in English & Japanese )" on its back. The back cover also differs from any other countries' copy. “Nippon Grammophon” letters are printed on the bottom-rim of back cover & each label’s rim of disc.

And the label of disc is beautiful in white for promotional use. The price on the cover is JPY1750. Though obi is missing, it’s still very hard to find Japanese 1st press promotional copy of this album even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.
