Japan Orig. PROMO LP


Decca SDL 10254

Appendices: "Different F/B Cover”, “Insert”, “Promo White Label” & “Misprint Track List”
( OBI is missing )

Description: This is scarce Japanese original PROMO copy ( released in late 1960’s ) of his original album, coming with an insert. The cover is in green on the front, though other countries’ copies are in yellow. The back side is flipped back on its top & bottom rims, showing “Japanese liner notes”. It’s different from any other countries’ copy. The label of disc is in white for promotional use.

The track-list includes the same 12 tracks as other countries’ copy. But the order of track-list on Side A is partly different. In addition, “Truck Drivin' Man” is misprinted as “Track Driving Man” on the back cover and the label of disc ( See photos ). It’s not famous misprint for Rick Nelson.

This Japanese edition is very rare, which is not shown even in Discogs. Though obi is missing, it’s still hard to find this item even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.

Side A: You just can’t quit, Louisiana man, Track Driving man, Welcome to my world, Kentucky means paradise, Here I am

Side B: Bright light and country music, Hello walls, No vacancy, I’m a fool to care, Congratulations, Night train to Memphis
