Appendices: "Orange OBI" & “G/F Cover"
( INSERT is not originally issued )

Description: This is scarce Japanese Early Press copy ( released in early 1970’s ) of their masterpiece album. The insert was not originally issued for this album. The label of disc is in deep green, typical for its early 1970’s of Warner Japan’s label. The price of obi & cover is JPY2000. It’s hard to find this item with orange obi even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: VG/VG+ ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for creased spine-edge. Brown spots are around the rims of inside gate-fold. It’s clean on the front & back. Otherwise it has none of any tear, ring-wear, dent, strip & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is good in condition, keeping glossy. It’s partly discolored on the surface of Side B-3~4, which doesn’t affect the sound. There are a few spindle-marks with spots on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scuff, scratch & hairline, which is to be rated as "VG+". No flaw on the groove of each side. Without discolor on Side B, it should be “NM” enough. Yes, it plays fine on each side.

OBI: VG+, being slightly stained ( discolored ) on the surface of back. The supply-tag is still in the top of back.

INSERT: INSERT is not originally issued for this item.
