Shocking Blue / Same Title ( Scorpio’s Dance )
Japan Orig. LP


Polydor MP 2148 Nippon Grammophon


Appendices: "G/F Different Cover” & “Fold-Out Poster”
( OBI is missing / INSERT is not included )

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1971 ) of their 3rd original album. Their 3rd album ( Scorpio’s Dance ) was issued with different cover in Japan. A colorful fold-out poster was originally attached inside gate-fold cover, but it was stripped off from the cover ( See photo ).

The gate-fold shows inside "Japanese liner notes" & "English lyrics". Though an insert is not included, it's not sure if it was originally issued for this item. The fold-out poster which was originally inlayed inside gate-fold cover is stripped off the cover. Though obi is missing, it’s still hard to find this item even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Side A: Scorpio’s dance, Alaska country, Sally was a good old girl, Daemon lover, Scorpio’s dance

Side B: Little cooling planet, I love voodoo music, Seven is a number in magic, Keep it if you want it, Water boy


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


COVER: Cover is partly worn on the corners & outer-edges. It’s lightly scraped with slight ring-wear on the surface of front & back. Inside gate-fold, it’s stained with brown specks on its surfaces ( mainly on the back-side of fold-out poster… See photo ). Otherwise it has no tear, dent, strip & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc has slight scuffs including slight scratches and hairlines in places on each side. There are some spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any serious flaw ( such as deep scratch ), which is to be rated as "G+". All of flaws are so slight that it plays strong on each track.

OBI: OBI is missing.

INSERT: INSERT is not originally issued for this item.

POSTER: Originally inlayed poster is stripped off, but still without pin-hole at corners. It’s creased on the surface of each side, while being stained with spots on that of blank side. The blank side is with strip-mark along its left rim. A green handwritten line is in its right top corner.
