It's hard to find this item in complete shape even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: VG/NM- ~ EX+ ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for partly worn corners & outer-edges. It’s lightly scraped with light ring-wear on the surface of front & back ( mainly back side ), while being clean inside gate-fold. Otherwise it has no tear, dent, strip, stain & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is nearly TOP in condition, keeping glossy. A tiny spot is at the start of Side B-1. There’re a few spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scuff, scratch & hairline, which is to be rated as "above". No flaw on the groove of Side A and mostly on Side B…very clean disc, we guarantee you.

OBI: EX

BOOKLET: VG, being partly scraped and creased on the surface of front page.
