Japan ONLY 2LP


A&M GSW 301 / 2

Appendices: "Original OBI” & “G/F Cover w/ Booklet ( attached inside gate-fold ) " & “Fold-Out Poster”

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1974 ) of their double live album. This album was recorded live at Festival Hall, Osaka, Japan on Jun.7 to 9, 1974. A booklet is originally inlayed inside gate-fold cover, showing “Japanese liner notes”, “English & Japanese lyrics” and “Photos of Carpenters”. The insert is not originally issued for this album, because of the booklet inside gate-fold. It’s hard to find this double album in complete shape even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from far east to serious collector.

Condition: G+/NM/NM ( Cover / Disc 1/2 )


COVER: Cover is partly worn on corners & outer edges. It’s slightly scraped with slight ring-wear on the surface of front, while being lightly discolored along the spine-edge. It’s partly stained with minor brown spots on the back & inside gate-fold. A few short tears are in the booklet. Otherwise it has no ring-wear, dent, strip & writing...OK.

DISC 1/2: Both discs are nearly TOP in condition, keeping glossy. Each disc has several spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise each disc has none of any scuff, scratch & hairline, which can be rated as “NM". No flaw on the groove of both… very clean discs, we guarantee you.

OBI: VG+, being lightly stained on top-rim of back, while being slightly rippled on the surface of each side.

INSERT: INSERT is not originally issued for this album.

POSTER: VG ( still unused ), being slightly rippled with some minor brown spots on each side for aging.
