Iron Butterfly / Heavy
Japan Orig. LP


Atlantic SMT – 1045 Nippon Grammophon

Appendices: "Different Cover ( back-side )” & “Insert”
( OBI is missing )

Description: This is rare Japanese original copy ( released in 1969 ) of their 1st album, coming with rare insert. The back-cover shows “Japanese description” and the “Track-List in Japanese & English”, different from any other countries’ copy. The price on the cover is JPY1800. Though obi is missing, it’s still hard to find this album even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: VG/VG+ ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for lightly worn corners & outer-edges. It’s lightly stained on the surface of front and back, while being partly creased in left top & bottom corners of back ( See photos ). Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, dent, strip & writing…OK.

DISC: Disc is good in condition, keeping glossy. It has some slight scuffs on each side, with a few slight hairlines on Side A. There’re 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+". All flaws are so light that it plays fine on each side.

OBI: OBI is missing.

INSERT: VG, being lightly tanned and stained on the surface of each side.
