( OBI is missing )

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1968 ) of his original album, coming with very rare red-wax disc. The disc is rare red-wax, issued only for its early Japanese pressing. The insert is originally inlayed inside gate-fold cover, showing “Japanese liner notes” & “English lyrics”. It’s different from any other countries’ copy. Though obi is missing, it’s still hard to find this item with red wax even in our country. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


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


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for partly worn corners & outer-edges. It’s lightly scraped on the surface of outside. Minor spots are inside gate-fold ( mainly along the center-fold ). Otherwise it has none of any tear, ring-wear, dent, strip & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is good in condition, keeping glossy. It has some slight scuffs on each side, with a short scratch on Side B-1 ( inaudible ). There are several spindle-marks with stain-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any hairline, which is to be rated as "VG+".
