Elton John / Empty Sky
Japan Early Press LP


DJM FP - 80051

Appendices: "Original OBI”, “Fine Textured G/F Cover" & “Fold-Out 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. A pink new price sticker of JPY2200 is on the top-rim of front obi. It’s hard to find this album in complete shape even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


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


COVER: Cover is partly worn on the corners & outer-edges. Brown spots are in places inside gate-fold ( See photos ). It’s partly creased in the left bottom corner of back, while being lightly scraped on upper side-rims of outside. Slight ring-wear is on the back. Otherwise it has none of any tear, dent, strip & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. A few slight scuffs are on each side. There’re several 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 rippled with light brown spots in places on the surface of back. A supply-tag is still in the top of back.

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