Japan Orig. LP


Epic EPIA 53010

Appendices: "Different Cover”
( OBI & INSERT are Missing )

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1970 ) of his 1st album. This album was not released in Japan until 1970. Cover of Japanese 1st press is different from any other countries’ copy. And the track-order is also different ( See the track-list below ). Though obi and insert are missing, it's still hard to find this item in any condition even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.

Side B: Elvaston place, Samuel oh how you’re changed! A long way down from Stephanie, Ivich, Belleka doodle day


Condition: G+/EX ( Cover/Disc )


COVER: Cover is partly worn on corners, bottom & lightly other outer edges. Brown spots are in places on the surface of back and lightly on the “face of Al” in the front side. All corners but left top are creased short. Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, dent, strip & writing…OK.

DISC: Disc is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. It has a few slight scuffs on Side B with a short minor scratch on Side A-4 ( inaudible ). There’re some spindle-marks on each label with brown spots on the label of Side A. Otherwise it has none of any hairline, which is to be rated as “EX".

OBI: Missing.
