Appendices: "Original Die-Cut Cover OBI w/ INSERT” & “G/F Cover"

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1969 ) of their 1st album, comin' with complete appendix. OBI is like a die-cut outer cover to house the whole of gate-fold cover, and the insert is originally inside obi ( See photo ). It’s very hard to find this item in any condition even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: VG+/EX ( Cover/Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for lightly worn corners & outer-edges. It’s stained with minor brown spots along the top & bottom-rims inside gate-fold, while being clean on the front & back. Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, dent, strip & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. It has a short scuff on Side A-1 and several slight ones on Side A ( but none on Side B ). A few to several spindle-marks are on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scratch & hairline, which is to be rated as "EX". No flaw on the groove of Side B.

DIE-CUT OUTER-COVER OBI / INSERT: G, being stained with brown spots on the surface of each side. It’s partly torn off in the middle of left-rim of front. The top & right edges are worn. Die-cut portions are partly creased and torn short.
