Jimi Hendrix / Smash Hits
Japan Orig. LP


Polydor SMP-1413 Nippon Grammophon ( STEREO )

Appendices: “Original OBI”, “Different Cover" & "Insert"

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1969 ) of his early best album, comin' with complete appendices. The cover is different in design on front, showing "Japanese description" & "the track-list ( in English & Japanese )" on its back. The back-cover also differs from any other countries' copy. “Nippon Grammophon” texts are printed on the bottom-rim of back-cover & each label of disc. It’s very hard to find this item in complete shape even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


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


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for partly worn corners & outer-edges. It’s lightly discolored on the surface of back, while being lightly scraped with light ring-wear on that of front. The right bottom corner is creased. Otherwise it has no tear, strip, dent & writing…OK.

DISC: Disc is good in condition, keeping glossy. It has slight scuffs in places on each side. There’re several spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scratch, which is to be rated as "VG+".
