Appendices: "Original Medal OBI”, “Inner Bag”, “Insert”, “Postcard” & “Red Wax”
( POSTER is missing )

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1971 ) of his 2nd album, coming with rare appendices. OBI is rare “medallion” in its upper portion, which is typical of its early pressing. The disc is very rare red wax, issued only for its 1st press. Though the poster is missing, it’s still hard to find this item even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.

COVER: Cover is excellent in condition, except for partly worn corners & right-edge. It’s lightly rippled with light ring-crease along the right-rim of front & left-rim of back. A vertical crease is on the left of back. Otherwise it has no tear, dent, strip, stain & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is good in condition, keeping glossy. It has a few to several slight scuffs on each side with a light hairline on Side B-1~3 ( inaudible ).
