Appendices: "Original OBI" & "Laminated G/F Cover w/ Colorful Photo Booklet"
( INSERT is not originally issued )

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1968 ) of their 5th album, comin' with rare original obi. This album was issued with laminated gate-fold cover, showing "Japanese liner notes" & "English and Japanese lyrics" inside. A colorful photo-booklet is attached inside gate-fold cover. It's hard to find Japanese original copy of this album even in our country. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: VG/EX- ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for partly worn corners & right-edge. It’s lightly scraped with tiny dents on the surface of back. Inside gate-fold, it’s lightly stained in part ( mainly along the center-fold…See photo ). Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, dent, strip & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. It has a few slight scratches with a faint hairline on Side B ( inaudible each ). There are a few spindle-marks on each label. It has light scuffs on the “inner-groove” of each side, which doesn’t have music. Anyway, otherwise it has none of any serious flaw ( such as deep scratch ), which is to be rated as "EX-". No flaw on the groove of Side A.

OBI: VG, being slightly stained the surface of back. A small punch-hole is in upper left-rim of front & right rim of back side.

INSERT: INSERT is not originally issued for this item.
