( INSERT is not originally issued )

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1971 ) of her 2nd solo album, coming with complete appendices. The gate-fold cover is fine-textured on its surface outside. Insert was not originally issued for this item. Instead, the booklet is attached inside gate-fold cover, showing “Japanese description & lyrics” and “Photo of Carole”. The price on obi & cover is JPY2000. This Japanese edition was issued on Ode records label after this 1st press issue. Ode logo is also on the label besides A&M logo, which is different in design from Discogs data. It's hard to find this item in complete shape even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from far east to serious collector.
