Description: This is scarce Japanese Audiophile Edition copy ( released in 1981 ) of their 3rd album, coming with complete appendices. AD on obi reads “Digital Mastering” in its upper portion, while “MASTER SOUND” letters are printed on obi, inner sleeve & each label of disc. The outer cover houses a black “master sound” inner cover. It’s hard to find Japanese audiophile copy of this album even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.
