Elton John / Tumbleweed Connection
Japan Orig. LP


DJM FP - 80211

Appendices: “Original OBI”, “Textured G/F Cover w/ Booklet", “Insert”, “Postcard ( promotional use )” & “Red Wax”

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1971 ) of his 3rd album, coming with complete appendices. The disc is very rare red-wax, issued only for Japanese 1st pressing. The gate-fold cover is textured on its surface of each side. The enclosed postcard is for promotional use. It’s hard to find this album in complete shape even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: EX/VG ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is excellent in condition, except for lightly creased spine-edge. The enclosed booklet is lightly creased on its surfaces, with its side-rim lightly discolored. It’s clean on front, back & other part of inside gate-fold. Otherwise it has no tear, edge-wear, ring-wear, dent, strip, stain & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is good in condition, keeping glossy. It has some slight hairlines on Side A ( inaudible each ), with a few to several slight scuffs on Side B. There’re some spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any serious flaw ( such as deep scratch ), which is to be rated as "VG”. Flaws are not many, but just some on each side.

OBI: G, being torn in the bottom-rim of back and partly torn in left top-edge. A supply-tag is in the top of back.

INSERT: VG, being lightly creased on its surfaces of each side.

POSTCARD: VG, being lightly discolored for aging on its surfaces of each side. Outer-edges and corners are partly creased.
