DJM FP - 80393

Appendices: "Original OBI", “Fine-Textured G/F Cover”, "2 Booklets" & “Printed Autograph”

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy of his original album, comin' with complete appendices + very rare printed “AUTOGRAPH”. The enclosed autograph of Elton John reading “Best Wishes Elton John” is printed one officially by Toshiba Records, which is Japanese record company and has ownership of DJM Japan in those days. It's very hard to find Japanese copy of this album with this autograph even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.
