Cream / Wheels of Fire ( Live at the Fillmore )
Japan Early Press LP


Polydor MP 1417

Appendices: "Original OBI” & “G/F Gold Cover"
( INSERT is not originally issued )

Description: This is scarce Japanese Early press copy ( released in early 1970’s ) of their original album, coming with rare original obi. Their double album “Wheels of Fire” was issued separately in 2 albums as “Studio” & “Live”. This gold cover album is live stuff. The insert is not originally issued for this album. The gate-fold cover shows inside "Japanese description", "Photos of members" & English lyrics". The price on obi & cover is JPY1750. It’s hard to find this item with original obi even in our country. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: VG/EX+ ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for partly worn corners & outer-edges. It’s scraped ( stained? ) on the surface of outside, as usual with this cover. It’s also lightly scraped inside gate-fold. OBI is “stuck” on the surface of front, which is also usual with this cover ( but the back side is without problem ). The right bottom corner is creased. Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, strip, dent & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. There are several spindle-marks with patterned marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scuff, scratch & hairline, which is to be rated as "EX+". No flaw on the groove…very clean disc for its old age, we guarantee you.

OBI: FAIR, being “stuck” on the surface of front, which is also usual with this cover ( but the back side is in ordinary state ). The surface of back side is slightly rippled and stained. A supply-tag is attached to the bottom-rim of back.

INSERT: Insert is not originally issued for this item.
