Japan Audiophile Master Sound Edition LP


CBS 30AP 2537

Appendices: "Outer Cover”, “Inner Die-Cut Cover”, “Inner-Bag” & “Insert”
( OBI is missing )

Description: This is scarce Japanese Audiophile Edition copy ( released in 1983 ) of their masterpiece album, coming with rare appendices. “MASTER SOUND” letters are printed on the inner-cover & each label of disc. The outer cover includes inner die-cut cover to house the disc, insert & inner-bag. Though obi is missing, it’s still hard to find Japanese audiophile copy of this album even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: VG+/EX+ ( Outer Cover / Disc )


OUTER COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for partly worn corners, top & lightly other outer-edges. It’s lightly scraped on the surface of front & back. Some minor spots are on the back, with the spine-edge lightly discolored. Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, dent, strip & writing…OK.

DISC: Disc is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. It has a tiny scuff on Side B-2. There are many spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scratch & hairline, which is to be rated as "EX+". No flaw on the groove of Side A and mostly on Side B…clean disc, we guarantee you.

OBI: OBI is missing.

INSERT: VG+, being lightly discolored and creased on the surface of each side.

INNER-BAG: G+, being creased with minor brown spots on the surface of each side.

INNER COVER: VG+, which has light brown spots in part with a slight scratch on the surface of back.
