( INSERT is not originally issued )

Description: This is scarce Japan ONLY double album ( released in 1973 ) of Rod Stewart, coming with rare original obi. This double album includes 18 tracks ( See the track-list below ). The gate-fold cover shows inside “Japanese description” and “English lyrics”, while the insert was not originally issued for this album. It’s hard to find this double album even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.

Side A: Street fighting man, Handbags & gladrags, Blind player, And old raincoat won’t ever let you down, Cindy’s lament

Side B: Maggie May, ( I know ) I’m losing you, Reason to believe, Every picture tells a story

Side C: Gasoline alley, It’s all over now, Country comforts, Cut across Shorty

Side D: True blue, Angel, Twistin’ the night away, I’d rather go blind, Oh! No not my baby


Condition: G+/NM-/NM- ( Cover / Disc 1/2 )


COVER: Cover is partly worn on the corners & outer-edges. There’s light ring-wear on the front & back. Brown stain-marks are in part inside gate-fold. Tape stain-mark is in the middle of bottom-rim of back & inside gate-fold ( See photos …not tape itself ). The surface of spine-edge is split ( but not torn ). Otherwise it has no tear, strip, dent & writing...OK.

DISC 1/2: Both discs are nearly TOP in condition, keeping glossy. Each disc has several spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise each disc has none of any scuff, scratch & hairline, which can be rated as “NM". No flaw on the groove of both… very clean discs, we guarantee you.

OBI: VG, being creased in places with light scratches on the surfaced of front & back.

INSERT: INSERT is not originally issued.
