Appendices: “Original OBI”, “Textured G/F Cover w/ Booklet", “Insert” & “Red Wax”

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1971 ) of his 3rd album, coming with complete appendices. The disc is very rare red wax, issued only for Japanese 1st pressing. The gate-fold cover is textured on its surface of each side. The price on the cover & obi is JPY2000. It’s hard to find this album in complete shape even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: EX-/VG ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is excellent in condition, except for lightly worn corners, top & spine-edge. It’s clean on the front, back & inside gate-fold. Inlayed booklet inside gate-fold is rippled with minor stain-marks on the surface of each side. Otherwise no 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 few light scratches and hairlines on Side each side. There are several spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any serious flaw ( such as deep scratch ), which is to be rated as "VG".

OBI: G+, being lightly rippled and stained with minor brown spots on the surface of each side. It’s partly creased in lower left-rim & the supply-tag in the top of back side.

INSERT: G+, being creased on the right of each page.
