Japan ONLY 2LP


RCA SRA 9340 ~ 41

Appendices: "Wrap-Around Poster OBI” & “G/F Cover w/ A Flap"
( INSERT is not originally issued )

Description: This is scarce Japan ONLY double album ( released in 1972 ) of Elvis Presley, coming with very rare “wrap-around poster obi”. He sings 24 best tracks in this album. The gate-fold cover is glossy outside. The insert is not originally issued for this album. Instead, a flap is attached inside gate-fold, showing “Japanese description” & “English lyrics”. What’s interesting is the “wrap around poster obi”, which turns to be a poster when folded out. It’s hard to find this double album in complete shape even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.
