Simon & Garfunkel / Bookends
Japan Rare LP


CBS SOPM - 103

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

Description: This is scarce Japanese copy ( released in 1973 ) of their original album, comin' with complete appendices. An enclosed insert is with “Japanese liner notes”, “English & Japanese lyrics” and “Photo of S&G”. It’s hard to find this album in complete shape even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: G+/EX+ ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is lightly worn on corners & outer edges. It’s discolored along the side-rims of back side ( mainly left-rim…See photos ). Slight ring-wear is on the right bottom hand of front side. Otherwise no tear, strip, dent, stain & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. A faint scratch is on Side B-1 ( inaudible ). There’re several spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scuff & hairline, which is to be rated as "EX+”. No flaw on the groove of Side A and mostly on Side B…clean disc, we guarantee you.

OBI: VG, being lightly discolored along the top-edge. Right rim of front is creased with the right top-corner worn and torn a little.

INSERT: VG, being lightly tanned and rippled on the surface of each side.

POSTER: VG+ ( still unused ), being lightly scraped on the blank side, while being clean in the front side.
