Japan Orig. LP


Polydor SMP – 1418 Nippon Grammophon

Appendices: "G/F Different Cover"
( OBI is missing / INSERT is not included )

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1969 ) of their original album. This album was issued with gate-fold cover in Japan, showing inside “Japanese description”, “Photo of Arthur” and “English lyrics”. Not only back-cover, but also front-cover is also different from UK copy ( front-cover is different in the color to some extent. Please compare it with your UK copy ). The insert is not included. But it’s not sure if it was originally issued for this album.

UK 1st press album includes 10 tracks. But this Japanese copy includes following 11 tracks. And the title of this album is not S/T, but “FIRE” ( See photo ). Though obi is missing, it’s still hard to find this item even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.

Side B: I put a spell on you, Spontaneous apple creation, Rest cure, I’ve got money Child of my kingdom
