Shocking Blue / Venus ( At Home )
Japan Orig. LP


Polydor MP 2080 Nippon Grammophon

Appendices: "Original OBI” & “G/F Different Cover"
( INSERT is not included )

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1970 ) of their 2nd original album, coming with very rare original obi. Though Dutch original copy of their 2nd album includes 11 tracks, this Japanese copy includes 12 tracks in different order ( See the track-list below ). And it was issued with different title as “Venus”.

The gate-fold shows inside "Japanese liner notes" & "English lyrics", different from any other countries’ copies. And the back-cover shows the track-list in Japanese. Though insert is not included, it's not sure if it was originally issued for this item. It’s very hard to find this item with original obi even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.

Side A: Long and lonesome road, Love machine, The butterfly and I, Venus, California here I come, Poor boy

Side B: Mighty Joe, Bool weevil, Acka ragh, Love buzz, I’m a woman, Send me a postcard
