Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1974 ) of his live triple album, coming with rare appendices. It was recorded live at Kosei Nenkin Hall, Osaka, Japan on Jul. 3 & 4, 1973. All appendices are included but 4 pin-ups. Anyway, it’s still hard to find this copy in any condition even in my country. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: G+/EX/VG+/VG+ ( Cover / Disc 1/2/3 )


COVER: Cover is partly worn on the corners & outer-edges, with the right top & left bottom corner split short ( See photos ). It’s lightly scraped with light ring-wear on the surface of front & inside gate-fold. Creases are around the rims of each side. Otherwise it has no strip, dent, stain & writing...OK.

DISC 1: Disc 1 is excellent in condition. It has several slight scuffs on each side. A few spindle-marks are on each label. Otherwise each disc has none of any scratch & hairline, which is to be rated as "EX”.

DISC 2: Disc 2 is good in condition. It has slight scuff marks in part on each side, though they seem to be “misprint” made originally when pressed in factory. A few spindle-marks are on each label. Otherwise each disc has none of any scratch & hairline, which is to be rated as "VG+”.

DISC 3: Disc 3 is good in condition. It has slight scuff marks in part on Side A and a few on Side B, though they seem to be “misprint” made originally when pressed in factory. A few light scratches are on Side A ( inaudible ). Otherwise each disc has none of any serious flaw ( such as deep scratch ), which is to be rated as "VG+”.
