John Mayall / A Hard Road
Japan Tour Edition LP


London SLC 530

Appendices: "Red OBI”, “Another Slim OBI” & "Insert”

Description: This is scarce Japan TOUR Edition copy ( released in 1974 ) of their original album, comin' with complete appendices. Another red slim obi reads in Japanese “Japan Tour Memorial Edition”. Yes, this edition was issued to commemorate their Japan tour. It’s hard to find this item even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.
