Elton John / Empty Sky
Japan Early Press LP


DJM FP - 80051

Appendices: "Original OBI”, “Fine Textured G/F Cover" & “Insert”

Description: This is scarce Japanese Early Press copy ( released in 1970 or a little later ) of his 1st album, coming with complete appendices. The disc is not red, but black. The gate-fold cover is fine-textured on its surface of each side. It’s hard to find this album with obi even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: G/NM- ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is partly worn on the corners & outer-edges. It’s discolored along the spine-edge & its side-rims ( See photos ). Brown spots are in places inside gate-fold and the front. Otherwise it has none of any tear, ring-wear, dent, strip & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is nearly TOP in condition, keeping glossy. There’re some 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: G+, being lightly stained on the surface of back, while being lightly creased on that of each side. A folding crease is in the middle of each side, with the top-edge partly split. A supply-tag is attached to the top of back.

INSERT: G+, being lightly creased & discolored with light brown spots in places on the surface of each page.
