Appendices: “Original OBI”, “Insert”, “Different Cover” & “Promo White Label”

Description: This is scarce Japanese original PROMO copy ( released in 1981 ) of his rare compilation album, coming with complete appendices. The label of disc is beautiful in white for promotional use. The cover is different from any other countries’ copy. This album includes 10 tracks recorded before he moved to UK. It’s hard to find Japanese promo copy of this album even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.

Side A: Git down, Funky, She’s so fine, Gangster of love, Let me go

Side B: Groove, Back room lady, Freedom and you, Two and one goes, Win your love


Condition: EX/EX ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is excellent in condition, except for lightly worn corners, top & right-edge. It’s slightly scraped with slight ring-wear in the right top hand of front, while being clean on the back. Otherwise it has no tear, dent, strip, stain & writing…OK.

DISC: Disc is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. It has a tiny spot on Side A-3. A few tiny spindle-marks are on the label. “SAMPLE” letters on each label are scraped out ( See photos ). Otherwise it has none of any scuff, scratch & hairline, which is to be rated as "EX". No flaw on the groove of Side B and mostly on Side A. Without scrape marks on the label, it should be “NM”. Anyway, the surface of each side is very clean disc, we guarantee you.

OBI: G+, being lightly rippled and stained on the surface of each side. A folding crease is in the middle of each side.

INSERT: G, being tanned and stained with brown stain-marks on the surface of each side.
