Island ILS - 50027 ~ 28

Appendices: "Original OBI", "Die-Cut Cover", "Inner-Bags" & "Insert"

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1978 ) of their double live album, comin' with complete appendices. The cover is die-cut on its "windows". It's hard to find Japan in complete shape even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: VG/EX+/EX+ ( Cover / Disc1/2 )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for partly worn corners & outer-edges. It’s lightly scraped on the surface of each side, with short creases around the rims of each side. Otherwise it has no tear, edge-wear, ring-wear, strip, dent, stain & writing...OK.

DISC 1: Disc 1 is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. It has a short slight scratch on Side A-2 ( inaudible ). There are several spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scuff & hairline, which is to be rated as "EX+”. No flaw on the groove of Side B and mostly on Side A.

DISC 2: Disc 2 is also excellent in condition, keeping glossy. It has a few slight scuffs with tiny spots, which seem to be “misprint” on Side A ( inaudible ). There are a few to several spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scratch & hairline, which is to be rated as “EX+". No flaw on the groove of Side B.

OBI: G+, being creased & waving on the surface of each side, while being lightly stained on that of back. It’s partly torn off in the top-edge, and torn short in left bottom corner & lower side-rims of back ( See photos ).

INSERT: VG, being creased on the surface of each page.

INNER-BAG: VG+ each. Each one is lightly waving with light ring-wear on the surface of each side.
