IT IS TOTALLY UNPRECEDENTED !!! THIS IS RE -Writing the books !!!!PUTTING THEM RIGHT !!! Always upgrading .Believing my search will never end.....I told myself.... Have faith Alan , be patient and have faith in the Japanese .... Then one day my favourite Japan supplier called to tell me he had finally found my gem that I had searched for, for about a dozen years.  As I`ve said in the past to deal with these Japanese Suppliers is an HONOUR. He told me the condition . He told me the price . One KIDNEY ! I paid . And as always . My good friend in Japan. Came through but in style I  had never imagined possible.  Double click the pictures and see the Sleeve ,Lyric sheet, Obi strip and Record,  all baring the DL-44 cat number, THERE IS YOUR PROOF. Everything here  matches, and is not some cobbled together package.  JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT THINGS COULDNT GET ANY BETTER .  THEY CAN.THIS IS GURENTEED. CONDITION is MINT. MINT. MINT.  MINT. MINT. THROUGHOUT ! TOTALLY UNPLAYED .NEVER. NOT EVER.  CONDITION PRISTINE.UNPLAYED. TOP OF THE TREE. A NUMBER 1. THIS IS THE HIGHEST CALIBRE RECORD I HAVE EVER SEEN  IM ALL MY LIFETIME COLLECTING .  If you are going to look at this in daylight, I reccomend a good pair of Ray Bans. It has a the HIGHEST LUSTRE SHEEN POSSIBLE on a bright day just like today, THIS RARE, RARE, RARE BEAUTY. IS BLINDING !!!!When the light  catches it just so I swear it looks like its made of glass. THE FINEST CONDITION RECORD I HAVE EVER OWNED ! This is going to be like one of my kids getting up , walking out , and leaving home for good . Parting with this will  be bitter sweet ! Records to me are like photographs or old friends. I get em out every now and then and I go down memory lane with them.  Please read below the importance of how the value of a record is affected by  the presence of the Obi Strip . NOT ONLY THAT . THIS Fine, fine, piece comes with a SECONDARY   MINI OBI STRIP and that is TOTALLY UNPRECEDENTED.
