Japan Rare LP


CBS 25AP 1364

Appendices: "Silver OBI”, “Fold-Out Insert” & “Fold-Out Big Poster”

Description: This is scarce Japanese copy ( released in 1979 ) of their 4th album, coming with complete appendices. An enclosed fold-out insert is with “Japanese liner notes”, “Japanese lyrics”, “Photos of S&G” and “Discography of their albums”. And the back cover is printed with “English lyrics”.

An included fold-out big poster was issued for some early copies of Japanese press. The same cat. number “CBS 25AP 1364” is printed in the left top corner of poster ( See photo ). It’s hard to find this item even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.
