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

Description: This is scarce Japan Only double album ( released in early 1970’s ) of Teddy Wilson & Eiji Kitamur, coming with rare original obi. This double album was recorded at Iino hall, Japan on Oct.2, 1970 on Disc 1, and at the same place on Jul. 9, 1971 on Disc 2 ( See the track-list below ). The gate-fold cover is with “Japanese liner notes” inside ( See photo ). So the insert seems not to have been originally issued for this album.

This double album was issued only in Japan in those days and have not been reissued not only vinyl but also CD so far. It’s hard to find Japanese copy of this album even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.

Condition: VG/NM/NM ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for partly worn corners & outer edges. It’s slightly scraped with light ring-wear on the surface of front & back. A short tape-stain mark is on the left top-rim inside gate-fold. Otherwise it has no tear, dent, strip & writing…OK.

DISC 1/2: Both discs are nearly TOP in condition, keeping glossy. Each disc has several spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise each disc has none of any scuff, scratch & hairline, which can be rated as “NM". No flaw on the groove of both… very clean discs, we guarantee you.

OBI: VG, being with minor brown spots in places on the back. A folding crease is in the middle of each side.

INSERT: Not included. It seems that it was not originally issued for this album.
