Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1965 ) of their original album. Cover is printed on the back with “Japanese liner notes” which is different from any other countries’ copy. It is “flipped back” on its top & bottom-rims. Though obi & insert are missing, it’s still hard to find this album even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.
