Association / The Best Of ( Insight Out )
Japan Orig. LP


Warner BP - 8411

Appendices: “G/F Cover w/ Flap", "Inner-Bag" & "Red Wax"
( OBI is missing / INSERT is not included )

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1967 or a little later ) of his solo album, comin' with rare appendices. This album was released with the title of “best of”, though the front cover is the same as their original album of “insight out”. The track-list and its order are partly different from “insight out” ( See the track-list below ). The insert seems not to have been issued for this album. Instead, a flap is attached inside gate-fold, showing “Japanese description” & “English lyrics”. The back cover is also different from “insight out”.

The disc is beautiful red-wax, issued only for its 1st press. And the label is gold, typical label color of 1960’s Warner Japan. 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 A: Everything that touches you, Windy, Changes, Reputation, Sometime, Wantin’ ain’t getting’, Cherish

Side B: Never my love, We love us, Happiness is, When love comes to me, Another time another place, Requiem for the masses, Along comes Mary


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


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for lightly worn corners & outer-edges. It’s lightly stained inside gate-fold, with light scrapes & scratches on the front & back. Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, dent, strip & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is nearly TOP in condition, keeping glossy. It has a short slight scratch on Side A-2 ( inaudible ). There are light stain-marks on the label of Side A. Otherwise it has none of any scuff & hairline, which is to be rated as "above”. No flaw on the groove of Side B and mostly on Side A…very clean disc (especially for its old age ), we guarantee you.

OBI: OBI is missing.

INSERT: INSERT is not originally issued for this item.

INNER-BAG: G+, being creased on the surface of each side, with left corners wrinkled.
