Japan “Forever Young” Edition LP


Asylum 16P1 - 2016

Appendices: "Blue Slim OBI", “G/F Cover”, “Postcard ( promotional use )” & "Insert"
( POSTER was not originally issued for this edition )

Description: This is scarce Japanese “Forever Young” edition copy ( released in 1988 ) of their masterpiece album, comin' with complete appendices. Record companies in Japan were replacing vinyl with CD in 1988 ( and stopped issuing vinyl in 1989 ). So this album was issued in limited supply on Japanese vinyl in those days. That’s why this album with blue slim obi rarely appears in the market. The enclosed postcard is just for promotional use. Texts of “Forever Young Series” are in upper portion of front-obi. It’s hard to find this item even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: EX/EX ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is excellent in condition, except for lightly worn corners, spine & top-edge. It’s slightly scraped in the right top corner of front, and upper portions of back & inside gate-fold. A few tiny spots are on the top-rim of front. Otherwise it has tear, ring-wear, dent, strip & writing…OK.

DISC: Disc is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. A short faint scratch is on Side A-3 ( inaudible ). Otherwise it has none of any scuff, hairline & spindle-mark on each label, which is to be rated as “EX". No flaw on the groove of Side B and mostly on Side A.

OBI: G, being stained with brown spots on the surface of back side.

INSERT: VG+, being lightly tanned on the surface of inside pages.

POSTCARD ( Promotional Use ): VG+, being slightly tanned on the surface of each side.
