Japan ONLY 2LP


London GEM 5 ~ 6

Appendices: “Original OBI”, Hard G/F Cover w/ 2 Inner-Bags ( attached inside gate-fold )", "10 Page Booklet" & “Free 7” w/ Envelope Sleeve”

Description: This is scarce Japan ONLY double album ( released in 1972 ) of Rolling Stones, comin' with complete appendices. The booklet shows “Japanese description”, “English lyrics” & “Photos of members”. This album includes 24 tracks ( See the track-list below ). The gate-fold cover is hard outside like “hard-cover book”, with 2 inner-bags attached inside like flaps. What’s interesting is the free 7”, housed in the envelope sleeve, which was issued only for this Japanese double album. It’s hard to find this double album in complete shape even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.
