Japan Orig. LP


Polydor MP 2080 Nippon Grammophon

Appendices: "G/F Different Cover"
( OBI is missing / INSERT is not included )

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1970 ) of their 2nd original album. Dutch original copy was released with 11 tracks, though this Japanese copy includes 12 tracks in different order ( See the track-list below ), issued with different title ( Venus ).

The gate-fold shows inside "Japanese liner notes" & "English lyrics", different from any other countries’ copies. And the back-cover shows the track-list in Japanese. Though insert is not included, it's not sure if it was originally issued for this item. It's still hard to find this item even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.

Side A: Long and lonesome road, Love machine, The butterfly and I, Venus, California here I come, Poor boy

Side B: Mighty Joe, Bool weevil, Acka ragh, Love buzz, I’m a woman, Send me a postcard

Light scrape-marks are in places on the surface of outside. A sticker-stirp mark? is on the right top corner of front. Otherwise it has no tear, dent & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. It has a few scuffs on Side A and several slight ones on Side B. There’re some spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scratch & hairline, which is to be rated as “EX-".
