Chrysalis CHR 1013

Appendices: "Orange OBI”, “Another Red Slim OBI”, “Newspaper Cover" & "Insert"

Description: This is scarce Japanese Early Press copy ( released in 1974 ) of their early original album, comin' with complete appendices. Fold-out cover is just newspaper in shape. Another red slim obi reads in Japanese “Japan Tour Memorial Album”. Yes, they toured Japan for the 2nd time in 1974. “SAMPLE” letters are stamped in Japanese on the label of Side A ( See photo ). It’s very hard to find this item in complete shape even in our country. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.
