Jimi Hendrix / Smash Hits
Japan Early Press LP


Polydor MP-1413 Nippon Grammophon ( STEREO )

Appendices: “Different Cover" & "Insert"
( OBI is missing )

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in early 1970’s ) of his early best album, comin' with a rare insert. The cover is different in design on front, showing "Japanese description" & "the track-list ( in English & Japanese )" on its back. The back-cover also differs from any other countries' copy. “Nippon Grammophon” texts are printed on the bottom-rim of back-cover & each label of disc. Though obi is missing, it’s still hard to find this item even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: VG/VG ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, partly worn corners & outer-edges. It’s lightly scraped with light ring-wear on the surface of front, while being lightly stained on that of back. Otherwise it has no tear, strip, dent & writing…OK.

DISC: Disc is good in condition, keeping glossy. It has some slight scuffs in places on each side. There’re several spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scratch & hairline, which is to be rated as "VG". All flaws are so slight that it plays fine on each track.

OBI: OBI is missing.

INSERT: VG being lightly discolored with minor spots in part on the surface of each side.
