Description: This is scarce Japanese Early Press PROMO copy ( released in 1971 ) of their compilation album, coming with complete appendices. This album was issued with different gate-fold cover in Japan, showing inside "Japanese description" & “Photos of members". “SAMPLE” letters are stamped in Japanese on the label of Side B ( See photo ).
