Description: This is scarce Japanese Limited Edition copy ( released in 1980 ) of their 2nd album, coming with complete appendices. AD on obi reads in Japanese as “Absolutely Limited Edition”. The insert is with “Japanese liner notes” and “English lyrics”. It’s hard to find this album even in our country year by year. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: VG/VG ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for partly worn corners & spine-edge. It’s slightly scraped with slight ring-wear on the surface of back side. A few minor spots are on the top-rim inside gate-fold. Otherwise it has no tear, dent, strip & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is good in condition, keeping glossy. It has scuff marks in part on Side A-3~4 and a tiny one on Side B-4. A scratch is on Side A-1 & B-1 ( inaudible each ). There are several spindle-marks on each label. Scuffs are also on the inner groove ( not music surface ). Otherwise it has none of any hairline, which is to be rated as "VG". Flaws are not many but just some on the music surface of Side A and a few on Side B.

OBI: EX.

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