Deep Purple / Live in Japan
Japan Orig. 2LP


Warner P-5066 ~ 7W

Appendices: “G/F Cover”, "Insert" & “A Negative”
( OBI is missing )

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1972 ) of their live double album, comin' with rare appendices. The labels of both discs are deep green, just for original Japanese copy of this album. The price on the cover is JPY3000. What’s amazing is that a “NEGATIVE” is enclosed, which was issued in limited number for very early copies only. This short cut negative is still kept intact in the original clear vinyl bag ( See photo ). It seems to show the live stage of this concert. Though obi is missing, it’s still hard to find this item with a negative even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: EX/NM/EX ( Cover / Disc 1/2 )


COVER: Cover is excellent in condition, except for lightly creased spine-edge. A tiny dent is on the bottom-edge. It’s lightly scraped in part on the top-rim inside gate-fold, while being clean in each side. Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, strip, stain & writing…OK.

DISC 1: Disc 1 is nearly TOP in condition, keeping glossy. There are a few spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scuff, scratch & hairline, which can be rated as "NM". No flaw on the groove…very clean disc, we guarantee you.

DISC 2: Disc 2 is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. It has slight scuffs in part on Side A. There are a few spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scratch & hairline, which is to be rated as "EX". No flaw on the groove of Side B.

OBI: Missing.

INSERT: VG, being lightly tanned on the surface of each side.

NEGATIVE: NM, being still kept intact in the clear PVC bag. But the clear bag is aged and stained on its surface.
