Kingston Trio / Once Upon A Time
Japan Orig. 2LP


Polydor MP 9309 ~ 10 Nippon Grammophon

Appendices: “Original OBI” & “G/F Different Cover w/ Booklet ( attached inside gate-fold )"
( INSERT is not originally issued )

Description: This is rare Japanese original copy ( released in 1969 ) of their live double album, coming with rare original obi. The gate-fold cover is totally different from any other countries’ copy of this album. A booklet is attached inside gate-fold cover, showing "Japanese description", "English lyrics" & "Colorful members’ images". The insert seems not to be originally issued for this item ( because of the booklet ). This Japanese edition does not appear not only in Discogs but also in any discography of their albums. Anyway, it’s very hard to find this item even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.

Condition: VG/NM/NM ( Cover / Disc1/2 )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, expect for partly worn corners & outer-edges. It’s lightly scraped with light ring-wear and some light scratches on the surface of outside. Inside gate-fold, it’s lightly stained ( browned ) around the rims and center-fold. The spine-edge is discolored. Otherwise it has no tear, dent, strip & writing...OK.

DISC 1/2: Both discs are nearly TOP in condition, keeping glossy. Each disc has a few spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise each disc has none of any scuff, scratch & hairline, which can be rated as “NM". No flaw on the groove of both… very clean discs, we guarantee you.

OBI: G+, being stained with brown spots on the surface of back. A supply-tag is attached to the bottom of back.

INSERT: INSERT is not originally issued for this item ( because of flaps ).
