Japan PROMO 2LP


PHILIPS SFL – 9040 ~ 41

Appendices: "Original OBI”, “Fine-Textured G/F Cover", "Fold-Out Insert” & “Promo White Labels”

Description: This is scarce Japanese PROMO copy ( released in 1969 ? ) of their double album, coming with complete appendices. The gate-fold is fine-textured on the surface of each side. The labels of both discs are in white for promotional use. The fold-out insert shows “English lyrics”. It’s hard to find Japanese promo copy of this double album even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.

Side A: The sune ain’t gonna shine any more, My ship is comin’ in, Another tear falls, Deadlier that the male, You don’t have to tell me, Make it easy on yourself
Side B: Land of a thousand dances, There goes my baby, First love never dies, Love minus zero, Summertime, In my room
Side C: Everything under the sun, I will wait for you, Once upon a summertime, Stay with me baby, Turn out the moon, Walking in rain
Side D: Sunny, I need you, Looking for me, My love is growing, No sad songs for me, Archangel
