Japan “Master Sound” Audiophile Edition LP


CBS 30AP 2538

Appendices: "Silver OBI", “Die-Cut Inner-Bag”, “2 Inserts” & “Shrink-Wrap”

Description: This is scarce Japanese Master Sound Audiophile Edition copy ( released in 1983 ) of his original album, comin' with complete appendices. AD on obi reads in Japanese "Master Sound". It may be only in Japan to issue this album as audiophile on vinyl. This album was released worldwide with 10 tracks. But this Japanese audiophile edition includes 11 tracks, featuring “Time After Time” on Side A-5 ( See photo ). The cover is still in the “shrink-wrap”, which is open at the right-edge. A “master sound” sticker is in right top hand of the “shrink-wrap”. It's hard to find this item even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: NM-/NM ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is nearly TOP in condition, except for lightly worn right-edge. It’s clean on each side. Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, dent, strip, stain & writing…great in shape.

DISC: Disc is nearly TOP in condition, keeping glossy. There’re a few spindle-marks 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, I guarantee you.

OBI: MINT, being kept intact in the “shrink-wrap”.

INSERT: G, being creased & stained with brown spots here and there on the surface of each page.

INNER-BAG: G, being stained with brown spots on the surface of each side.
