Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in the late 1960's ) of their best album, coming with complete appendices. The disc is beautiful red wax, issued only for Japanese 1st pressing. The cover is laminated on each side, showing "Japanese description" & "the track-list" on its back. Though the insert is not included, it seems that it was not originally issued for this item. It’s hard to find this item with obi even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.
