Description: This is scarce Japan TOUR MEMORIAL compilation album ( released in 1967 ) of Shadows, coming with rare appendices. This album includes 14 tracks ( See the track-list below ). AD on obi reads in Japanese “Japan Tour Memorial Album”. Yes, this album was issued to commemorate their Japan tour. The gate-fold cover shows inside "Japanese liner notes", "The Track-list" & "Photo of members". The disc is rare red wax, issued only for some copies of 1st press. Though the insert is not included, it seems that it was not originally issued for this album. It’s hard to find in any condition even in our country nowadays.
