Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in late 1960’s ) of sound track album, coming with rare Japanese insert. The disc is red-wax, issued only for its 1st pressing. This ost album features “Steppenwolf”, “Jimi Hendrix”, “Byrds” & more ( See following track-list ). The back-cover shows “Japanese description”, different from any other countries’ copy. Though obi & inner-bag are missing, it’s still hard to find this item with red wax even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.

Condition: G+/FAIR ( Cover / Disc )
COVER: Cover is partly worn on the corners & outer-edges. It’s scraped with light ring-wear on the surface of each side, while being lightly stained on that of back. Otherwise it has no tear, dent, strip & writing…OK.
DISC: Disc is fair in condition. It has many scuffs, scratches & hairlines on each side ( See photos ). There are plenty of spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any serious flaw ( such as deep scratch ), which is to be rated as "FAIR”. It’s still enjoyable, playing strong on each track.
OBI: OBI is missing.
INSERT: G+, being lightly creased & browned on the surface of each side.
