Japan Orig. LP


United Artists GP 507

Appendices: "Original OBI” & “Fold-Out Insert”

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1977 ) of their 1st album, comin' with complete appendices. The fold-out insert shows “Japanese description” & “English lyrics”. It’s hard to find Japanese promotional copy of this item even in my country. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: G+/VG+ ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is partly worn on the corners & outer-edges, with short creases on the spine-rims. It’s scraped with ring-wear on the surface of front & back. Otherwise it has no tear, dent, strip, stain & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is good in condition, keeping glossy. It has several slight scuffs on each side, with a slight scratch & hairline on Side B ( inaudible ). There are many spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any serious flaw ( such as deep scratch ), which is to be rated as "VG+”.

OBI: VG+, being lightly scraped on the surface of each side. It’s partly worn & creased on the top & bottom-edges.

INSERT: G, being creased on the surface of each side, while being stained with brown specks in places inside pages.
