Appendices: "Silver OBI”, “Inner Cover”, “Inner Sleeve”, “Fold-Out Insert”, “Master Sound Booklet” and “Master Sound Insert”

Description: This is scarce Japanese Audiophile Edition copy ( released in 1982 ) of his original album, coming with complete appendices. AD on obi reads “Digital Mastering” in its upper portion, while “MASTER SOUND” texts are printed on obi, inner cover & each label. And an enclosed booklet and one of inserts is on “Master Sound”. It’s hard to find Japanese audiophile copy of this album even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.
