Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1971 ) of his 2nd album, coming with complete appendices. OBI is rare “medallion” in its upper portion, which is typical of its early pressing. The disc is very rare red wax, issued only for its 1st press. It’s hard to find this item in complete shape even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.
