Rainbow / Long Live Rock 'N' Roll
Japan Audiophile Edition LP


Polydor ‎18MM 0528

Appendices: "Brown OBI", "G/F Cover" & "Fold-Out Insert"

Description: This is scarce Japanese Audiophile edition copy ( released in 1986 ) of their legendary 1st album, comin' with complete appendices. The "Peel Slowly / Banana Sticker" is still on the front-cover. AD on obi reads in Japanese "Digitally Re-mastered". It may be only in Japan to issue this album as audiophile on vinyl. It's hard to find this item 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 right bottom corner of back and lightly bottom-edge. It’s lightly discolored along the top-rims of front & back, while being clean inside gate-fold. Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, dent, strip, stain & writing…OK.

DISC: Disc is good in condition, keeping glossy. It has some slight scuffs including slight hairlines on each side ( See photo ). There are several spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any serious flaw ( such as deep scratch ), which is to be rated as "VG+". It plays fine on each side.

OBI: G, being torn in the top & bottom rims of front, while being partly creased in the bottom-rim.

INSERT: VG, being lightly tanned along the top-rims of each side and center-fold inside pages.
