Elton John / Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Japan Early Press 2LP


DJM IFP – 93105B

Appendices: “Original OBI”, “Another Red Slim OBI”, “Triple G/F Cover" & “Booklet” ( POSTER is not enclosed )

Description: This is scarce Japanese Early Press copy ( released in 1974 or a little later ) of his double-album, coming with rare appendices. A booklet shows “Japanese description”, “English & Japanese lyrics” and “Photos of Elton”. Another red slim obi reads in Japanese “Japan Tour Memorial Album”. Did he tour Japan when this album was originally released ? Sorry, I have no idea. The poster is not included. It’s hard to find this item even in my country. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: VG+/EX-/NM- ( Cover / Disc 1/2 )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for lightly worn ( creased ) spine-edge & corners. There’s light ring-crease on the front, with minor spots on the top-rim inside gate-fold. Minor creases are on the spine & top-rims, with the spine-edge lightly discolored. Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, strip, dent & writing...OK.

DISC 1: Disc 1 is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. It has slight scuff mark in part on Side B-1~4 with a short scratch on Side A-1 ( inaudible ). There are several spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any serious flaw ( such as deep scratch ), which is to be rated as "EX-“.

DISC 2: Disc 2 is nearly TOP in condition, keeping glossy. There are a few to several spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scuff, scratch & hairline, which can be rated as "NM". No flaw on the groove…very clean disc, we guarantee you.

OBI: VG each, being creased with a folding crease in the middle of each side.

BOOKLET: VG, being creased along upper left-rim of the front.

POSTER: Poster is not included.
