Warner P – 8224W

Appendices: “Original OBI”, “G/F Cover", “Fold-Out Lyric Sheet” & “Japanese Insert”
( SILVER SLIM OBI is missing )

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1971 ) of their original album, coming with rare appendices. The label is in deep green, just for original Japanese copy of this album. The price on cover is JPY2000, while blue price sticker on the bottom-rim of front obi is JPY2300. Maybe it was pressed when the price was changing to new one. Though silver slim obi is missing, it’s still hard to find Japanese original copy of this album even in our country. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: VG/EX+ ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for partly worn corners & outer-edges. It’s scraped on the surface of front & back, while being lightly stained around the rims inside gate-fold. The left corners are creased. Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, dent, strip & writing…OK.

DISC: Disc is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. It has a short slight scratch on Side A-1 ( inaudible ) with a few slight scuffs on Side B. There’re several spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any hairline, which is to be rated as "EX+".
