Appendices: “Original OBI”, Hard G/F Cover w/ 2 Inner Sleeves ( inlayed inside gate-fold )", "10 Page Booklet" & “Free 7” w/ Envelope Sleeve”

Description: This is scarce Japan ONLY double compilation album ( released in 1972 ) of Rolling Stones, comin' with complete appendices. Booklet shows “Japanese liner notes”, “English lyrics” & “Photos of members”. Gate-fold cover is like “hard-cover book”, with 2 inner sleeves originally inlayed inside like flaps. What’s interesting is the free 7”, housed in the envelope sleeve, which was issued only for this Japanese double album.
