Description: This is scarce Japan TOUR MEMORIAL compilation album ( released in 1967 ) of Shadows, coming with rare appendices. This album includes 14 tracks ( See the track-list below ). AD on obi reads in Japanese “Japan Tour Memorial Album”. Yes, this album was issued to commemorate their Japan tour. The gate-fold cover shows inside "Japanese liner notes", "The Track-list" & "Photo of members". The disc is rare red wax, issued only for some copies of 1st press.
