Description: This is scarce Japanese Early Press copy ( released in 1968 ) of their live album, comin' with complete appendices. Japanese early pressing copy was issued with different cover. The gate-fold cover is with “Japanese liner notes” inside. It's hard to find this item in complete shape even in our country. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: VG/VG ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for partly worn corners & outer-edges. It’s covered with clear stain-marks over the surface of outside, while being stained with minor brown spots inside gate-fold ( See photos ). Otherwise it has none of any tear, ring-wear, dent, strip & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is good in condition, keeping glossy. It has several slight scuffs on Side A. The surface of Side B is covered with record spray mark ( ? ), which doesn’t affect the sound ( See photos ). There are a few spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scratch & hairline, which is to be rated as “VG". Without spray marks on the surface of Side B, it should be EX.

OBI: VG+, being slightly stained on the surface of back. A supply-tag is still in the bottom of back side.

INSERT: INSERT is not originally issued for this item.

INNER SLEEVE: G, being stained with brown spots on the surface of each side.
