Elton John / Tumbleweed Connection
Japan Early Press LP


DJM FP - 80211

Appendices: “Original OBI”, “Textured G/F Covert", “Insert” & “Booklet”

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in early 1970’s ) of his 3rd album, coming with complete appendices. The disc is not red but black. The gate-fold cover is textured on its surface of each side. The booklet is originally off the cover in this edition, different from its 1st press. The price on the cover & obi is JPY2200. It’s hard to find this album in complete shape even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: EX+/NM- ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is excellent in condition, except for a small dent in the middle of spine-edge. It’s slightly discolored along the right-rim of back, while being clean in each side. Otherwise it has no tear, edge-wear, ring-wear, strip, stain & writing...fine in shape.

DISC: Disc is nearly TOP in condition, keeping glossy. There are a few to several 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.

OBI: VG, being discolored along the left-rim of front, while being creased in the top-rim of back.

INSERT: VG, being lightly creased and discolored on its surfaces of each side. Minor stain-mark is in the bottom of center-fold inside page & outside page.

BOOKLET: EX.
