Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1974 ) of his live triple album, coming with complete appendices. It was recorded live at Kosei Nenkin Hall, Osaka, Japan on Jul. 3 & 4, 1973. It’s very hard to find this copy in complete shape even in our country. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: VG/EX+/EX+/EX+ ( Cover / Disc 1/2/3 )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for partly worn corners, spine & lightly other outer-edges. Spine-edge is creased. Light ring-wear is on the front. A few creases are on the right inside. It’s totally clean in the back & inside gate-fold. Otherwise it has no tear, strip, dent, stain & writing...OK.

DISC 1/2/3: All discs are excellent in condition, keeping glossy. Each disc has faint marks like slight scuffs on the surfaces, it seems that they’re not flaw but just “misprint” which don’t affect the sound. There’re a few spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise each disc has none of any scratch & hairline, which is to be rated as “EX+".

OBI: G+, being creased on the left of front, while being torn short in the left bottom corner. Back surface is lightly rippled.

INSERT ( RED ): EX

SHAPED POSTER: VG+ each, being moderately rippled with minor creases on the surface of each side.

INNER SLEEVES: VG each, being creased in places with ring-wear on each side. Otherwise no tear or split on outer edges.
