Japan Early Press 2LP


Polydor MP 9313 ~ 14

Appendices: "Red OBI" & "G/F Cover w/ Booklet ( inlayed inside gate-fold cover )"
( INSERT is not originally issued )

Description: This is scarce Japanese Early Pressing copy ( released in 1969 or a little later ) of their double album, coming with complete appendices. Insert is not originally issued for this item. Instead, 12 page booklet is inlayed inside gate-fold cover, showing “Japanese liner notes” & “Japanese & English lyrics”. “Nippon Grammophon” texts are printed on the bottom-rim of back cover, but no such texts are on the label of both disc. Probably, 1st press has the “Nippon Grammophon” texts both on the cover & label, this copy is very early press after the 1st press. Anyway, it's hard to find this item even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.
