Description
This is an Official RARE Japan Only 7" Single Box Set from Sony Music / 1999 / ESKB4012
I believe it was Limited to only 3,000 copies, which is quite limited based on their popularity in Japan at the time.
This is Number 002182. There is a printed strip with the number where the handle meets the box on the top.
I am the only owner and had pre-ordered it via mail order from Japan back in 1999.
All Vinyl is unplayed. Shirt is unworn. Pins/Adapter are unused.
Vinyl originally shipped inside of the vinyl sleeves with no inner sleeves.
As soon as the box was opened, vinyl was removed from the exceptional
quality glossy thick cardstock sleeves and placed in plain paper inner sleeves
and stored outside of the picture sleeve. Picture sleeves are all in nice thick
clear vinyl sleeves with a second sleeve covering up the opened side.
All Sleeves still look crisp and clean fantastic day one brand new.
Vinyl looks fantastic overall, though due to the way they were packaged,
there a couple of hairline scuffs on Side 3 & Side 5 and Side 8 has a very tiny hairline scuff.
One look at them and it is obvious that they were barely handled and never saw a turntable.
The 16 Page booklet [in Japanese only] looks fantastic and is encased in the same
deluxe cardstock full color glossy sleeve as the vinyl singles are. The Obi-Strip has a 1/8" tear and a little
creasing near the top right corner from when the contents of the box were originally assembled.
The spine of the gatefold sleeve has never been cracked and went right into a clear vinyl sleeve.
The two round 2-sided printed Inserts look crisp and clean brand new.
The two pins are unused and have never left the card they came attached to.
The 7" adapter is unused and has only left the card based on how it is semi-attached.
The box they are stored in is in crisp and clean fantastic shape and look brand new.
The shirt has never been worn and still has all of the original wrinkles in it from exactly
how it originally came folded inside of the box. The ink was never super vivid and always
had a semi-washed out look to it. It varied slightly from the sample that was in some
of the print ads, where some of what was blue on the shirt was green in the ad.
Shirt is a Made In USA M 38-40 United Sports Activewear Heavy Weight Pre-Shrunk 100% Cotton.
It appears to sized for the USA and is a decent sized medium.
There is one tiny dark spot just below the left shoulder seam, directly from the manufacturer.
Shirt only left the box twice. Once in 1999 and once for this listing.
It was never worn.
PLEASE NOTE: The Record Box/Storage Case received a few dents/dings
during shipment from Japan. Most is pictured, though I ran out of picture slots for one area.
Most of the corners are nice and sharp, though there is a very noticeable creased area in
back lower near-right corner that can be seen from the back, as well as the side.
It did not break through the box and did not tear the paper on the outside.
Though not pictured, there is also a crease above that in the top of the box lid.
It is less serious than the bottom crease, though noticeable when you focus on it.
The hinged spine in the back is as solid as ever. Handle is just as solid.
Other than the shipping creases, box shows very little signs of handling, as it was
never on display and spent most of its time safely stored and untouched for
the past ten years, until the time of this listing.
The items pictured are the exact items that you will receive.
Any bright spots on the listed images are the result of digital camera glare and are not on the actual items.
It has been safely stored in a completely smoke-free environment since shortly after it was released.
It will be shipped with EXTREME CARE in a well-padded oversized box for maximum protection.
ALSO INCLUDES the original clear bag in which it was shipped in with the original release info. sticker
on the outside in crisp and clean excellent condition. The darker spot near the bottom center of the
image of the bag is the original tape showing up a bit dark on the digital camera image for some reason.
Due to the weight and somewhat fragile nature, I will not ship this outside of the U.S.
