Deep Purple / In Rock
Japan Early Press LP


Warner P – 8020W

Appendices: "Original OBI” & “G/F Cover"
( INSERT is not original issued )

Description: This is scarce Japanese Early Press copy ( released in 1971 ) of their masterpiece album, coming with rare original obi. The insert was originally issued for this album. The label of disc is in deep green, for original Japanese copy of early 1970’s Warner Japan. It’s hard to find this item in complete shape even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: VG/VG+ ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for partly worn corners, spine & lightly other outer-edges. It’s lightly stained around the rims inside gate-fold, and a little on the back. On the back, it’s lightly scraped in its upper portion. A small strip-mark is in right bottom corner inside gate-fold. Otherwise it has none of any tear, ring-wear, dent & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is good in condition, keeping glossy. It has a few slight scuffs on each side, with a scratch on Side B-1. A scratch on Side B makes a pop during the time. There’re several spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any hairline, which is to be rated as “VG+”. Flaws are not many but just a few on each side.

OBI: EX. A supply-tag is attached to the top of back.

INSERT: INSERT is not included in this item. But it’s not certain if it was originally issued for this item.
