Stranglers / The Raven
Japan Orig. LP


United Artists GP 765

Appendices: “3D Cover”, “Inner Sleeve” & “Insert”
( OBI is Missing )

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1979 ) of their original album, coming with rare appendices. Front cover is with “3 Dimension picture” pasted, issued only for Japanese 1st press. Though obi is missing, it’s still hard to find Japanese copy of this album even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: VG/G+ ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for lightly worn right-edge. A scratch line is on the bottom-rim of 3D picture ( See photo ). Slight ring-crease is on the right of front. Back side is clean. Otherwise it has no tear, strip, dent, stain & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is slightly warped on its surfaces which doesn’t affect its play or sound. Surface of Side A is with “ghost”, which does not affect the sound ( but none on Side B…See photo ). It’s as usual with this 3D picture album. A few spindle-marks are on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scuff, scratch & hairline, which is to be rated as “G+". It plays fine on each track, but with minor surface noise between tracks of Side A.

OBI: Missing

INSERT: VG, being lightly tanned and stained on the white portion of back page.

INNER SLEEVE: G+, being rippled and stained with brown spots on the surface of each side. Otherwise no tear or split on outer edges.
