What can we say ?

The last stock copy of this record we described as 'Virtually impossible to find with an Obi'.

The rarity of that little paper wrap even dwarfs the extreme rarity of the album itself. To find one complete & intact in this superb condition is a gift from above. And a promo version? This IS virtually impossible to find...

The cover itself was taken at the same shoot as the US 'Are You Experienced?' cover but the photograph was then lost for over thirty years, making it only available on this unique sleeve from Japan.

Condition :-

Being a non-laminated sleeve, the thick card shows a little faint foxing in places on the back panel & on the back of the obi. There is some very light edge fading to the paper to a few of the far reaching corners, with all text still clearly readable including along the spine. There is no writing & the obi is fully intact with the coupon unused - unlikely to ever be seen again like this for many years! The insert is a nice & clean example & we would grade the packaging Excellent overall with no concerns.

The vinyl has a deep sheen both sides & grades Excellent. Under a bright light, a series of ever so faint paper hairlines are visible on side two but these have no effect on performance. A few ever so faint spindle marks by the centre hole label reveal some minor play in all its years.

A beautiful example & the first COMPLETE promo edition we have found!
