Rory Gallagher / Against the Grain
Japan Early Press LP


Chrysalis CHR 1098

Appendices: "Original OBI”, "Insert" & “Inner-Bag”

Description: This is scarce Japanese Early Press copy ( released in 1975 ) of his original album, coming with complete appendices. The poster was not originally issued for this edition. It’s hard to find Japanese copy of this album even in my country. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: VG/EX ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for partly worn corners & outer-edges. It’s lightly scraped on the surface of front & back. A few light scratch lines are in the middle of back. Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, dent, strip, stain & writing…OK.

DISC: Disc is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. Though there are a few slight marks on the surface of each side, they seem to be “misprint”. There are several spindle-marks with brown spots on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scuff, scratch & hairline, which is to be rated as "EX".

OBI: VG, being lightly creased on the surface of front & back. Brown spots are on the top-rim of back.

INSERT: VG, being lightly discolored & creased on the surface of each side.

INNER-BAG: G, being lightly creased on the surface of each side. It’s split short in the middle of side & bottom-edges.
