Appendices: “G/F Cover" & “Insert ( cut-out of cover-obi )”
( COVER OBI is Missing )

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1969 ) of their 1st album, comin' with an insert. OBI of this album is like a die-cut outer cover to house the whole of gate-fold. An insert is a part of this outer cover-obi. Insert portion showing “Japanese liner notes” & “English lyrics” is cut out of cover-obi, disposing other part. Though cover-obi is missing, it’s still hard to find this item in any condition even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: VG/EX- ( Cover/Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for partly worn corners & outer-edges. It’s stained with minor brown spots along the top & bottom-rims inside gate-fold, while being lightly scraped on the surface of front & back. Light ring-wear is on upper portion of back. Otherwise it has no tear, dent, strip & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. It has several short scuffs including a minor scratch on Side B-1~3 ( inaudible…See photo ). Several spindle-marks are on each label. Otherwise it has none of any hairline, which is to be rated as "EX-". No flaw on the groove of Side A.

DIE-CUT OUTER COVER OBI: Missing

CUT-OUT INSERT: FAIR, being stained with brown spots on the surface of each side. Red handwritten circles and texts are in the track-list.
