Description: This is scarce Japanese Audiophile Edition PROMO copy ( released in 1984 ) of their masterpiece album, coming with rare appendices “MASTER SOUND” texts are printed on obi, inner sleeve & each label. Enclosed insert is English lyric sheet with images of members, while another insert is Japanese liner notes. Extra fold-out colorful insert is on the "MASTER SOUND", too.

A “SAMPLE” white sticker is on the left bottom corner of back cover, while the same letters in Japanese are printed on each label of disc ( See photos ). It’s hard to find Japanese audiophile promo copy of this album even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: VG+/NM ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition. It’s lightly scraped on the right of front and upper portion of back. A few minor scratch lines are also on the right of front side. Minor spots are on the top-edge. Otherwise it has no tear, edge-wear, ring-wear, dent, strip & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is nearly TOP in condition, keeping glossy. There are a few minor spots on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scuff, scratch, hairline & spindle-mark on each label, which can be rated as "NM". No flaw on the groove & no spindle-mark on each label…very clean disc, we guarantee you. Without a few spots on the label, it should be “MINT” enough.

OBI: VG+, being partly scraped on the bottom-rim of back side.

INSERT: EX each.

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

POSTCARD: VG, being lightly tanned on the surface of each side.
