Deep Purple / Live in Japan
Japan Orig. 2LP


Warner P-5066 ~ 7W

Appendices: “Original OBI”, “G/F Cover”, "Insert" & “A Negative”
( SILVER SLIM OBI is Missing )

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1972 ) of their live double album, comin' with rare appendices. Labels of both discs are deep green, just for original Japanese copy of this album. Price on the cover is JPY3000. What’s amazing is that a “NEGATIVE” is enclosed, which was issued in limited number for very early copies only. This short cut negative is still kept intact in the original clear vinyl bag ( See photo ). It seems to show the live stage of this concert. Though another silver slim obi is missing, it’s still very hard to find this item with a negative even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: EX-/EX+/EX+ ( Cover / Disc 1/2 )


COVER: Cover is excellent in condition, except for lightly worn corners & outer-edges. Top-rim is lightly scraped inside gate-fold. Left top corner of front is creased short. Spine-edge is vertically creased, as usual. Front & back surfaces are clean. Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, strip, dent, stain & writing…OK.

DISC 1/2: Both discs are excellent in condition, keeping glossy. Disc 1 has a few slight scuffs on Side A ( but none on Side B ), while Disc 2 also has a few on Side B ( but none on Side A ). Each disc has a few to some spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise each disc has none of any scratch & hairline, which is to be rated as “EX+".

OBI: G, being stained with brown spots on the surface of each side. A supply-tag is attached to the top of back.

INSERT: G+, being lightly scraped and tanned with minor brown spots on the surface of each side.

NEGATIVE: NM, being still kept intact in the clear vinyl back.
