Shocking Blue / Venus ( At Home )
Japan Orig. LP


Polydor MP 2080 Nippon Grammophon

Appendices: "G/F Different Cover"
( OBI is missing / INSERT is not included )

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1970 ) of their 2nd original album. Dutch original copy was released with 11 tracks, though this Japanese copy includes 12 tracks in different order ( See the track-list below ), issued with different title ( Venus ).

The gate-fold shows inside "Japanese liner notes" & "English lyrics", different from any other countries’ copies. And the back-cover shows the track-list in Japanese. Though insert is not included, it's not sure if it was originally issued for this item. It's still hard to find this item even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.

Side A: Long and lonesome road, Love machine, The butterfly and I, Venus, California here I come, Poor boy

Side B: Mighty Joe, Bool weevil, Acka ragh, Love buzz, I’m a woman, Send me a postcard


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


COVER: Cover is partly worn on the corners & outer-edges. It’s lightly tanned and scraped on the surface of back & inside gate-fold. Minor spots are on the side-rims inside gate-fold. Red handwritten text is on the left top rim of back side. Strip-marks are in part in the left top hand of front. A stamped sticker is in the right bottom corner of front. Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, dent & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is good in condition, keeping glossy. It has a few scuffs on Side A and some on Side B, with a short scratch on Side A-6 ( inaudible ). There’re a few spindle-marks on each label with a strip-sticker on the label of Side A. Otherwise it has none of any hairline, which is to be rated as “VG+".

OBI: OBI is missing.

INSERT: INSERT is not included. But it’s not sure if it was originally issued for this item.
