Eric Burdon and the Animals / Love is
Japan Orig. 2LP


MGM SMM – 9053 ~ 54

Appendices: "G/F Different Cover w/ A Flap ( attached inside gate-fold )”
( OBI is missing / INSERT is not included )

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1969 ) of their original double album. The gate-fold cover is different from any other countries’ copy, with a flap attached inside. It shows “Japanese description” & “English lyrics”. Though insert is not included, it’s not sure if it was originally issued for this album.

// The Japanese copy of this double album is introduced in Discogs, but it’s not original 1st press, but late press. Our copy is the genuine Japanese 1st press ( compare the inside of gate-fold cover with Discogs’ copy ). Though obi is missing, it’s still hard to find this item in any condition even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


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


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for partly worn corners, spine, right-edge & lightly other outer-edges. It’s lightly scraped & scratched in part on the front & back, while being clean inside gate-fold. Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, strip, dent, stain & writing...OK.

DISC 1: Disc 1 is nearly TOP in condition, keeping glossy. There are a few 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.

DISC2: Disc2 is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. It has several slight scuffs in part on each side. There are a few spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scratch & hairline, which is to be rated as "EX+".

OBI: OBI is missing.

INSERT: INSERT is not included. But it’s not sure if it was originally issued for this item.
