Appendices: "Original OBI”
( INSERT is not originally issued for this item )

Description: This is scarce Japanese original 5 track 12” copy ( released in 1983 ) of DIO, coming with rare original obi. This Japanese copy includes 5 tracks, though UK 12” includes only 3 track ( See the track-list below ). The insert was not originally issued for this item. Instead, Japanese description is on the back side of obi, and English lyrics are on the back cover. It’s hard to find Japanese copy of this album even in our country. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.

Side A: Rainbow in the dark, Holy diver, Evil eyes

Side B ( live ): Stand up and shout, Straight through the heart


Condition: VG/VG+ ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for short creases on the spine-rims. Some scrape marks are in part on the right bottom rim of back side. Slight ring-wear is on the front & back. Otherwise it has no tear, edge-wear, dent, strip, stain & writing…OK.

DISC: Disc is good in condition, keeping glossy. A scratch is on Side A-1 ( inaudible ). There are some spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scuff & hairline, which is to be rated as "VG+". No flaw on the groove of Side B and mostly on Side A. A scratch on Side A-1 is only flaw on the groove.

OBI: VG, being slightly rippled on the surface of front & back. A folding crease is in the middle of each side. A white sticker is on the bottom-rim of back.
