Michael Jackson / Ben
Japan Orig. LP


Tamla Motown SWG - 7582

Appendices: Original Cap OBI”, “Fold-Out Insert” & “Shrink-Wrap”

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1972 ) of his 2nd solo album, coming with complete appendices. Cover is still in the “shrink-wrap”, which is open at the right-edge. Cap obi is originally out of shrink-wrap. Fold-out insert is with “Japanese liner notes” and “English lyrics”. It’s hard to find this item even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: VG+/NM- ~ EX+ ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for partly worn right-edge & right bottom corner. It’s still in the “shrink-wrap”, which is open at the right-edge. Some brown spots are along lower right-rim of “shrink-wrap” ( See photo ). Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, strip, dent & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is nearly TOP in condition, keeping glossy. A short minor scuff is on Side B-2. There are a few spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scratch & hairline, which is to be rated as "above". No flaw on the groove of Side A and mostly on Side B…clean disc, we guarantee you.

OBI: VG+, being lightly tanned on the left-rim of back and right top-edge.

INSERT: G+, being lightly rippled and tanned with minor brown spots on the surface of each side.
