Stranglers / The Raven
Japan Orig. LP


United Artists GP 765

Appendices: "Original OBI", “3D Cover”, “Inner-Bag” & “Insert”

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1979 ) of their original album, coming with complete appendices. The front cover is “3 Dimension”, issued only for Japanese 1st pressing. It’s hard to find Japanese copy of this album even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: VG/VG ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for lightly worn right-edge. It’s lightly scraped & scratched around the rims of front, and with light ring-wear on the surface of back. Some scratches are on the “3D portion” on the front. Otherwise it has no tear, strip, dent, stain & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is good in condition, keeping glossy. There are light marks on the surface of Side A-3~5 ( but none on Side B ), which does not affect the sound. It also has slight marks on the surface of each side, which seem to be “misprint”, which is as usual with this album. Though there’s a short scratch on Side B-1~2, it does not click. Several spindle-marks are on each label. Otherwise it has none of any hairline, which is to be rated as “VG". It plays fine on each side.

OBI: VG, being creased in places on the surface of each side.

INSERT: VG+, being lightly creased and discolored on the surface of each page.

INNER-BAG: G+, being creased with ring-crease & brown spots in places on each side. Outer-edges are partly worn, with the upper right-edge split short.
