Japan Orig. LP


Apple AP - 80012

Appendices: "Medal OBI", “G/F Cover”, “Inner Sleeve”, "Insert" & "Red Wax"

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1970 ) of their 2nd album ( in US ), coming with complete appendices. The gate-fold cover shows inside “Japanese description” & “Photos of members”. It’s different from US copy. The disc is beautiful red wax, issued in limited number for its 1st press. The price on the back-cover & the top-rim of front obi is JPY2000. It's hard to find this item in complete shape even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.
