Description: This is scarce Japan Mail Order Only PROMO album ( released in 1976 ) of Deep Purple, coming with rare Japanese insert. This album was issued in limited supply only on the mail order ( in Japan ). “SAMPLE” letters are printed in Japanese with “NOT FOR SALE” texts on each label of disc ( See photo ). OBI is not originally issued for this album. The back-cover shows “Japanese description”, “the track-list” & “photo of members”, while the insert shows “English lyrics” sheet. It’s still hard to find this item even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.
