Japan Audiophile Master Sound Edition LP


CBS 30 3P - 521

Appendices: "Silver OBI”, “G/F Cover”, “Inner-Bag”, “Booklet” & “Vinyl Outer-Cover”

Description: This is scarce Japanese Audiophile Edition copy ( released in 1984 ) of their masterpiece album, coming with rare 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.

This outer vinyl cover was officially issued for promotional use only for the same album. It shows its Epic logo & its Cat. Number ( LP 28 3P-511 EPIC/SONY INC NOT FOR SALE …See photo ). It houses the gate-fold cover with the top-flap flipped back. “LP 28 3P-511” is just for promotional but not master sound edition. Anyway, we present it with this copy . It’s hard to find Japanese audiophile copy of this album even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.
