Bee Gees / Idea
Japan Orig. LP


Polydor SMP – 1414 ( Nippon Grammophon )

Appendices: “Original OBI” & “Different G/F Cover ( back side )"
( INSERT is not originally issued for this album )

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1969 ) of their original album, coming . This album was issued with gate-fold cover whose back cover is different from any other countries’ copies. It’s with “Japanese liner notes” and “English lyrics” with “Photo of members” inside. Insert was not originally issued for this album, it seems. “Nippon Grammophon” letters are printed on the outer rim of each label. It’s hard to find this item with obi even in our 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 stained with brown spots along the top-edge and its rims of each side. Minor brown spots are also in places inside gate-fold and around the rims of outside. Slight ring-wear is on the front & inside gate-fold. Otherwise it has no tear, dent, strip & writing…OK.

DISC: Disc is good in condition, keeping glossy. It has a few slight scuffs on each side with a short scratch on Side A-2 ( clicks ) & 5 and light one on Side B-1~3. There are several spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any hairline, which is to be rated as "VG+". Flaws are not many but just several on each side.

OBI: G, being stained with brown spots on the surface of back side. A supply-tag is still in the bottom of back side. Purchase date (?) is stamped on the supply-tag.

INSERT: INSERT was not originally issued for this album.
