Description: This is scarce Japanese Early Press copy ( released in 1969 or a little later ) of his early best album, comin' with complete appendices. The cover is different in design on front, showing "Japanese liner notes" & "the track-list ( in English & Japanese )" on its back. The back cover also differs from any other countries' copy. “Nippon Grammophon” texts are printed on the bottom-rim of back cover & each label of disc. The price on obi & cover is JPY1750.
