Connie Francis / Christmas In My Heart
Japan Early Press LP


MGM SMM - 1105

Appendices: “Original OBI”, “Different F/B Cover ( back side )" & “Insert”

Description: This is scarce Japanese Early Press copy ( released in 1966 ) of her original album. The cover is flipped back in its top & bottom-rims, showing “Japanese description” & “the track-list” on the back. It’s different from any other countries’ copy. The insert is an English lyric sheet. It’s very hard to find this item with obi even in my country. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: VG+/EX- ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for minor creases on the spine-rims. It’s lightly tanned and stained around the rims of back, while being lightly scraped on the surface of front & back for aging. Slight ring-wear is on upper portions of front & back. Otherwise it has none of any tear, edge-wear, dent, strip & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. It has a faint hairline on Side A-1 with slight scuff marks in part on Side B. Though there’re patterned marks on the “inner-groove” of Side B, they have no relation with the sound. There are a few spindle-marks on the label of Side B. Otherwise it has none of any scratch, which is to be rated as “EX-". Clean disc for its old age.

OBI: VG, being lightly creased on the surface of each side, while being lightly stained on that of back.

INSERT: G+, being lightly tanned on the surface of each side. Brown spots with ring-wear are on the side rims of each side.
