AD on obi reads “Digital Mastering” in its upper portion, while “MASTER SOUND” letters are printed on obi, booklet & each label of disc. The outer gate-fold cover includes inner gate-fold cover to house the disc, inserts, inner sleeve & booklet. It’s hard to find Japanese audiophile copy of this album even in my country nowadays.
