Japan Orig. LP


United Artists PS – 1196 – UA

Appendices: "Thin F/B Different Cover” & "Hexagon Company Sleeve"
( OBI is Missing / INSERT is NOT originally issued )

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1965 ) of original soundtrack ( OST ) album. Cover is thin, flipped back in the top & bottom rims of back side. Artwork of front cover is completely different from any other countries’ copy. Insert is not originally issued for this album. Instead, “Japanese liner notes” is printed on the back side of cover.

Disc is housed in a hexagon company sleeve. Though obi is missing, it’s still hard to find this Japanese copy nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: G/VG ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is partly worn on corners, right-edge & lightly other outer edges. It’s scraped with ring-wear on the surface of each side, while being lightly tanned and stained on that of back side. Short creases are around rims of each side. Otherwise it has no tear, strip, dent & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is good in condition, keeping glossy. It has slight scuffs and scratches in places on each side. There’re several spindle-marks on each label. Though there’re many scuffs on “inner groove ( no music surface )” of each side, they are no relation with the sound. Otherwise it has none of any serious flaw ( such as deep scratch ), which is to be rated as "VG".

OBI: Missing

INSERT: NOT originally issued for this album.

COMPANY SLEEVE: G, being aged and creased in the top-flap and lightly on the surface of each side. Bottom edge is torn.
