Japan Orig. LP


London L28P 1260

Appendices: "Original OBI” & "Fold-Out Insert"

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1988 ) of their original album, comin' with complete appendices. A fold-out insert shows “Japanese liner notes” and “English lyrics”.

Record companies in Japan were replacing vinyl with CD in 1988 ( and stopped issuing vinyl in 1989 ). So this album was issued in limited supply on Japanese vinyl in those days. That’s why Japanese vinyl of this album rarely appears in the market. It's hard to find Japanese copy of this album even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.

On the back, it’s discolored along the left-rim ( mainly its upper & lower rims…See photos ). A few short creases are on the spine-rims. A slight scratch line is in the middle of front. Otherwise no tear, edge-wear, dent, strip, stain & writing…OK.
