Dire Straits / Alchemy - Dire Straits Live
Japan Orig. 2LP


Vertigo 20 PP 78 / 79

Appendices: “G/F Cover” & “Insert”
( OBI is missing )

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1984 ) of their live double album, coming with a rare insert. The insert is with “Japanese liner notes” & “English lyrics”. Though obi is missing, it’s still hard to find Japanese copy of this album even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: G/EX-/EX ( Cover / Disc 1/2 )


COVER: Cover is stained with brown spots on the surface of each side ( See photos ). A yellow & red sticker is in the right bottom corner and a white small sticker is in the right top corner of front side. Bottom corners are creased short. Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, dent, strip & writing...OK.

DISC 1: Disc 1 is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. A light scratch is at the start of Side A-1 ( inaudible ). There are some spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scuff & hairline, which is to be rated as "EX-". Though there’re minor scuff marks on “inner groove” and “outer rim”, they are not “music surface” which has no effect on the music itself. Anyway, no flaw on the groove of Side B.

DISC 2: Disc 2 is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. A slight scratch is on Side B-1 ( inaudible ). There are some 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 A and mostly on Side B.

OBI: Missing.

INSERT: G, being lightly tanned with brown spots on the surface of each side. Brown tape-stain mark is along the left-rim of front. It’s scraped and rippled along the top-rims.
