The Papas & The Mamas / Presented by the Mamas & the Papas
Japan Orig. LP


VICTOR ‎SHP-5728

Appendices: "Textured Different Cover"
( OBI is missing / INSERT was not included )

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1968 ) of their original album. This album was issued with different cover ( front & back side… the back-cover shows "Japanese liner notes" & “English lyrics” ). It seems that the insert was not originally issued for this item. The surface of each side is textured.

Artists credit is not “the Mamas & the Papas”, but “Presented by the Mamas & the Papas” on the cover ( front & spine-edge ) and each label of disc ( See photos ).

Though obi is missing, it's still hard to find this item in any condition even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: EX-/NM- ~ EX+ ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is excellent in condition, except for lightly worn corners & right-edge. Minor scrape marks are on the outer rims of back side. It’s clean on the front. Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, dent, strip, stain & writing...OK. Clean cover for its old age.

DISC: Disc is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. It has a short slight scuff on Side B-1. Though there’re scuffs on each “inner-groove”, they’re not on the music groove, which seem “misprint”. There’re several spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scratch, which is to be rated as “above". No flaw on the “outer groove” of Side A and mostly on Side B…clean disc, we guarantee you.

OBI: OBI is missing.

INSERT: ( It seems that ) The insert was not originally issued for this item.
