Japan Rare LP
CBS 20AP 2499
Appendices: "Outer Cover” & “2 Inserts”
( OBI is not included )
Description: This is scarce Japanese copy ( released in 1983 ) of their original album, coming with rare appendices. One of insert is with colorful image of members, while another is fold-out with Japanese liner notes and English lyrics.
The outer-cover was issued in limited number for the purpose of promotion only. The text on the bottom-rim of back-side of outer-cover reads “NOT FOR SALE for the purpose of promotion only” ( See photo ). It houses ordinary cover. Though the inner ( ordinary ) cover is printed with “1980” on the back cover, “1981” is on the bottom-rim of back side of outer cover. Though obi is not included, it’s still hard to find Japanese copy of this album with this promo outer-cover even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.
