(country of pressing - label - year of release - number) Comments Gatefold cover with insert and Obi.
Be aware that this is the only Italian version besides Italin originals. American and German issues are in English.
You can see that the insert is smaller than usual ones. This is because it is printed in the CD size. In Japan, the period when this was released was already in CD era. This is a limited vinyl release, not many were pressed and sold. Condition The disc is in M, I bought this from an old collector. He said that he played this only twice, the first when he bought as new copy he taped this and he used to listen to the tape, the second when he sold this to me. As he says, this is like new, one spindle mark, just perfect. I can't find any reason to grade this M-, so, plain MINT without minus.
Check-played all through after cleaning with VPI HW-17, not visual grading!

The cover is in M-, clean but due to a fragile kind of paper and has some superficial scratches on surface. Top seam rubbed very little. See additional photos. Additional photos Click here * If the link doesn't work, feel free to ask me e-mail for photos. Postage

CAUTION about $4 shipping option. As eBay forces sellers to accept such shipping option to US, I accept it. This will be surface mail only and it may take three months to arrival. To save the weight, I will send records without ANY protective package. I mean any, items will be sent NAKED without even plastic bags. Not only your address will be written directly on the cover, but also postal stamps are glued directly on the cover. So, if you are lucky enough, you will receive trashed records months later. I am not responsible for this, it's your choice. Further to this, it still costs me more than $4! Ridiculous. Hi, hello. Thanks for your bids. This is the third day of my 8-9 days listings.
It's rather stupid to listen to all records all through to check the real condition. But I believe it's good for you. I think buying rare records should be less gambling. Almost everybody, including myself, must have experience that receiving item/s in not nice condition after paying a high price. Very disappointing. I am trying to exclude such disappointments as much as I can.
