The Shocking Blue / This America ( Good Times )
Japan Orig. PROMO LP


Polydor MP 2401

Appendices: "Original OBI", “Different Cover”, "Insert” & "Promo White Label"

Description: This is scarce Japanese original PROMO copy ( released in 1974 ) of their last original album, comin' with complete appendices. This album was released as “Good Times” in other countries with different cover. Yes, artwork of cover is completely different from any other countries’ copy ( See photos ). But the track-list is the same as other countries’ one.

Label of disc is beautiful in white for promotional use. Insert is with “Japanese liner notes” and “English lyrics”. It's hard to find Japanese promo copy of this album even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: VG/NM ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for partly worn corners & outer edges. It’s partly scraped in the middle of front side and lightly on the surface of back. Minor brown stain is on the right of front ( See photos ). Tiny dents are in places on the back. Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, strip & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is nearly TOP in condition, keeping glossy. There’s a spindle-mark on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scuff, scratch & hairline, which can be rated as "NM". No flaw on the groove…very clean disc, we guarantee you.

OBI: G+, being rippled on the surface of front, while being lightly scraped and stained on that of back side. It’s torn short in both of bottom corners and upper right-rim of front side.

INSERT: G+, being lightly tanned on the surface of each side.
