Japan Audiophile Master Sound Edition LP


CBS 30AP 1957

Appendices: "Silver OBI”, “Outer Cover”, “G/F Inner Cover”, “Inner-Bag”, “Insert” & “Booklet ( for master sound )”

Description: This is scarce Japanese Audiophile Edition copy ( released in 1982 ) of their masterpiece album, coming with complete appendices. AD on obi reads “Digital Mastering” in its upper portion, while “MASTER SOUND” letters are printed on obi, inner-bag & each label of disc. The outer cover includes inner gate-fold cover to house the disc, insert, inner-bag & booklet. It’s hard to find Japanese audiophile copy of this album even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.
