Stranglers / The Raven
Japan Orig. LP


United Artists GP 765

Appendices: "Original OBI", “3D Cover”, “Inner Sleeve” & “Insert”

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1979 ) of their original album, coming with complete appendices. The front cover is with “3 Dimensioned picture”, issued only for Japanese 1st pressing. It’s hard to find Japanese copy of this album 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 right-edge. It’s creased on the side-rims of opening edge and top-rims of each side ( See photos ). Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, strip, dent, stain & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is good in condition, keeping glossy. A slight scratch is on Side B-4~5 ( inaudible ). The surface of Side B is lightly discolored in part ( but none on Side A ), which does not affect the sound. It’s as usual with this 3D picture album. Several spindle-marks are on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scuff & hairline, which is to be rated as “VG". It plays fine on each side.

OBI: VG, being lightly scraped and rippled on the surface of each side. The left bottom corner is creased.

INSERT: G+, being rippled on the surface of each page, while being lightly tanned with some minor brown spots on that of white portions.

INNER SLEEVE: G+, being creased with ring-crease & some brown spots on each side.
