Description: This is scarce Japanese Limited Edition Vinyl 5LP Box Set ( released in 1997 ), comin' with complete appendices. Though the record companies in Japan stopped issuing vinyl in 1989, this album was specially issued on vinyl in limited supply. Original 26 tracks are on the Disc 1 ~ 4, with 4 bonus tracks on Side A of the Disc 5 ( The Disc 5 is recorded only on Side A, leaving blank on the other side ). It's hard to find this item in complete shape even in our country nowadays. Scarce item for serious collector.

Bonus Tracks ( Disc 5 / Side A): Regyptian strut, Leather goods, Revenge of the knick knack people, Time is money


Condition: VG/NM/NM/NM/NM/NM ( Cover / Disc1/2/3/4/5 )


BOX COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for lightly worn corners & outer edges. A tiny tear and crease is on the right top-edge of front-lid ( See photo ). A few minor scratches are in the middle of front lid and several in that of back side. The surface of front-lid is warped downward. And the surface of front & back sides are lightly discolored for aging. Inside the box, it’s clean. Otherwise no ring-wear, strip, dent, stain & writing...OK.

DISC 1~5: All discs are nearly TOP in condition, keeping glossy. Each disc has either none or a few 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.

// All of discs have slight marks on the surface of each side, though they're not flaw, but just "misprint" made originally when they were pressed in factory, as usual with this item.

OBI: G+, being largely split along the perforation ( See photo ).

BOOKLET: NM.

POSTCARD: NM.
