Mott the Hoople / Mott
Japan Early Press LP


CBS SOPN 117

Appendices: “Picture OBI” & “Fold-Out Insert”

Description: This is scarce Japanese Early Press copy ( released in 1975 ) of their original album, coming with complete appendices. The fold-out insert shows “Japanese description”, “English & Japanese lyrics” and “Photos of members”. It’s hard to find this item even in my 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 corners & right-edge. It’s partly creased with minor spots in right top hand ( white portion ) of front, and left top of back. Short creases are on the right-rim of back. Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, strip, dent & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is nearly TOP in condition, keeping glossy. A few slight scuffs are on Side B. 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 partly creased in lower portion of back, and with a few tiny tears along the side-rims of front.

INSERT: EX-, being slightly discolored on the surface of each side.
