Michael Jackson / Original Soul of
Japan Orig. PROMO LP


Motown RMTL - 8057

Appendices: "Original OBI", “Insert”, “Red & White Sample Stickers” & "Promo White Label"

Description: This is scarce Japanese original PROMO copy ( released in 1988 ) of his rare compilation album, comin' with complete appendices. The label of disc is beautiful in white for promotional use. And a red “SAMPLE ( in Japanese )” sticker is on the right top-rim of front, and a white one is in lower portion of back-cover.
// You know that the record companies in Japan were replacing vinyl with CD in 1988 ( and completely stopped issuing vinyl next year ). So this album was also released mostly on CD in my country, and in limited number on vinyl. That’s why this Japanese copy becomes rarity in 21st century. It’s hard to find this item even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: EX-/NM ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is excellent in condition, except for partly worn corners & top-edge. Slight ring-wear is in upper & lower portions of each side. The corners are lightly creased. Otherwise it has no tear, dent, strip, stain & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is nearly TOP in condition, keeping glossy. It has none of any scuff, scratch, hairline & spindle-mark on each label, which can be rated as "MINT". No flaw on the groove & label …very clean disc, I guarantee you.

INSERT: VG+, being slightly discolored on the surface of each side.
