Traffic / John Barleycorn Must Die
Japan Early Press PROMO LP


Island AML(i) - 1003

Appendices: “Red OBI” & “G/F Cover”
( INSERT is not included )

Description: This is scarce Japanese Early Press PROMO copy ( released in 1972 ) of their original album, coming with very rare red obi. “SAMPLE ( in Japanese )” letters are stamped on the Side B’s label of disc ( See photo ). Though the insert is not included, it seems that the insert was not originally issued for this item. Anyway, it’s hard to find Japanese copy of this album with obi even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: EX/NM- ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is excellent in condition. It’s lightly scraped along upper right-rim of back side, while being clean on the front & inside gate-fold. The spine-edge is lightly tanned and creased. Otherwise it has no tear, edge-wear, ring-wear, dent, strip, stain & writing…OK.

DISC: Disc is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. A slight hairline is on Side A. There’re several spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scuff & scratch, which is to be rated as "EX”. No flaw on the groove of Side B.

OBI: VG+, being lightly stained on the top-rim of back side. It’s lightly scraped on the surface of front. Minor scratches are on the top-rim of front.

INSERT: INSERT is not included. It seems that it was not originally issued for this item.
