Shocking Blue / Venus ( At Home )
Japan Orig. LP


Polydor MP 2080 Nippon Grammophon

Appendices: "G/F Different Cover"
( OBI is missing / INSERT is not included )

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1970 ) of their 2nd original album. Though Dutch original copy of their 2nd album includes 11 tracks, this Japanese copy includes following 12 tracks in different order ( See the track-list ), and was issued with different title ( Venus ).

The gate-fold shows inside "Japanese description" & "English lyrics", different from any other countries’ copies. And the back-cover shows the track-list in Japanese. It seems that the insert was not originally issued for this item. Though obi is missing, it’s still hard to find this item even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.

Side A: Long and lonesome road, Love machine, The butterfly and I, Venus, California here I come, Poor boy

Side B: Mighty Joe, Bool weevil, Acka ragh, Love buzz, I’m a woman, Send me a postcard


Condition: G+/VG+ ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is partly worn on the corners & outer-edges. It’s lightly scraped on the surface of front & back with ring-wear on the back. It’s lightly stained inside gate-fold. Otherwise it has none of any tear, dent, strip & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is good in condition, keeping glossy. It has some slight scuffs including slight scratches on each side. There are some to many spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any serious flaw ( such as deep scratch ), which is to be rated as “VG+".

OBI: OBI is missing.

INSERT: INSERT is not included in this item. But it seems that it was not originally issued for this item.
