Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1970 or a little later ) of their compilation album, coming with complete appendices. Gate-fold cover shows inside “Japanese liner notes” & “Photos of members” which is different from any other countries’ copy. Disc is not red but black. Price on the back-cover is JPY2200, while obi is JPY2000. It's hard to find this item in complete shape even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.
