SCORPIONS "Tokyo Tapes" 2LP JAPANESE MINT w/OBI

$

56

Info: This auction item you are looking at is for a great JAPANESE Gatefold pressing of a 2LP live Scorpions album called "Tokyo Tapes" featuring yet another album with completely different cover design than the rest of the planet! Besides the red rose on the cover, there is an embossed Silver Scorpion on the rose that is really cool! This was originally released in 1978 on RCA Records (RCA-9147-48). Included is a gatefold color Insert with new pictures not seen in other releases. It is, as always in Japanese & English. The inner sleeves are clear, anti-static plastic.

Condition: Everything about this MINT and it has been stored in a protective re-seal since purchased about 30 years ago!

Quality and Storage: Having played these records in my past (or not at all!), I don’t recall any of these records having issues such as being warped or having skips. I never loaned them out, never touched the actual vinyl and have always been a mint-condition freak. In the early days, to cut down on vinyl usage, I used to make and play an audio cassette version made from the vinyl.

As I cannot take an hour to list each item with every possible detail (but will do my best!), I will gladly answer any questions if there is anything specific information you need to know about the listing that I did not cover.

I have only lived in two places over the last 25 years and the records have been living in their own custom-made cabinets inside a non-smoking household. They have never been in storage or abused in any way.

If you are looking for something specific and I have it, I will list it for you upon request.

About Me & My Collection: I was the guitar player/writer in the progressive metal band, CASSLE. (You can find out more on our website.)  Being a huge music fan, I spent many years working in and around the record business in Los Angeles. The famed record chain, Amoeba Records, has been virtually frothing at the mouth to purchase my collection. Since I and a lot of the working world are between jobs right now, I thought it best to sell to the general public.

What the collection offers is lots of old records that were out of print and in decent shape to cut-outs and promo stamped versions, white label promos to immaculate records in store-bought condition to picture discs, colored vinyl, bootlegs and lots of imports from all over the world such as the high quality releases from Germany and Japan. Lots of titles with their original cover art and/or original labels, some in their original unopened shrink wrap! If I bought it new and it had any additional inserts... they will still be there.
