Stranglers / The Raven
Japan Orig. LP


United Artists GP 765

Appendices: "Original OBI", “3D Cover”, “Inner-Bag” & “Insert”

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1979 ) of their original album, coming with complete appendices. The front cover is “3 Dimension”, issued only for Japanese 1st pressing. It’s hard to find Japanese copy of this album even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: EX/VG ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is excellent in condition, except for lightly worn right-edge. It’s lightly scraped around the rims of front, and the surface of back. Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, strip, dent, stain & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is good in condition, keeping glossy. There are light marks on the surface of Side A ( but none on Side B ), which does not affect the sound. The marks seem to be “misprint”, which is as usual with this album. Several spindle-marks are on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scuff, scratch & hairline, which is to be rated as “VG". It plays fine on each side.

OBI: VG, being creased in places on the surface of each side.

INSERT: VG+, being slightly discolored on the surface of each page.

INNER-BAG: G+, being creased with ring-crease & brown stains in part on each side.
