Jimi Hendrix / Smash Hits
Japan Early Press LP


Polydor MP-1413

Appendices: “Different Cover" & "Insert"
( OBI is missing )

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in early 1970’s ) of his early best album, comin' with a rare insert. 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. Though obi is missing, it’s still hard to find this item even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: VG+/VG ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for partly worn corners, bottom & lightly other outer-edges. It’s slightly scraped with slight ring-wear on the surface of front, while being clean on the back. The right top corner is creased. Otherwise it has no tear, strip, dent & writing…OK.

DISC: Disc is good in condition, keeping glossy. It has slight scuff-marks ( including slight hairlines ) in places on Side B and in part on Side A. There’re several spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scratch, which is to be rated as "VG". All flaws are so light that it plays fine on each track.

OBI: OBI is missing.

INSERT: VG being lightly tanned on the surface of each side.
