Appendices: "Original OBI” & “Insert”

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1975 ) of their only studio album, coming with complete appendices. An enclosed insert is with “Japanese liner notes” and “English lyrics”. It’s hard to find Japanese 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, top & lightly other outer-edges. It’s lightly scraped in places with light ring-wear on the surface of front & back ( mainly back side ). Otherwise it has no tear, dent, strip, stain & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is nearly TOP in condition, keeping glossy. There’re a few spindle-marks on the label of Side B with faint spots 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: VG, being slightly aged and stained on the surface of back. A top-flap of back side is creased.

INSERT: G+, being lightly tanned with minor brown spots in each corner and along the side-rims of each side.
