Description: This is scarce Japanese Early Press copy ( released in late 1960’s ) of their 1st album ( in Japan ), coming with rare appendices. The back-cover shows “Japanese description”. The disc is rare red wax, issued only for the early press of Japan. Though obi is missing, it’s still hard to find this item even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.

COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for partly worn corners & right-edge. It’s creased in places with ring-wear ( crease ) on the surface of each side. It’s lightly tanned around the rims of front and on the surface of back. Otherwise it has none of any tear, dent, strip, stain & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. It has slight scuffs in places on each side, with a few light scratches on Side A. There’re some to many spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any serious flaw ( such as deep scratch ), which is to be rated as “VG". It plays fine on each track.
