This 1st JAPANESE PRESSING of Asia's debut LP has vinyl that is in CRAZY GREAT SHAPE! And what a good album it is, with guitars by YES ax man Steve Howe, drums by Emerson Lake and Palmer's Carl Palmer, keyboards by Geoffrey Downes (YES and The Bugles), and bass and vocals by John Wetton (King Crimson and UK). SO many great songs, like the opener "Heat Of The Moment", "Only Time Will Tell", and "Wildest Dreams" (NOT The Moody Blues song). The vinyl on here is so clean, so shiny and colorful, it looks almost unplayed. NO scratches, NO sleeve marks. The cover is really clean as well, with NO splitting, a very nice legible spine, just the tiniest amount of ring wear at the top, and some very minorly bumped corners. The LP is wrapped in the original clear rounded sleeve, and this Japanese copy comes with TWO INSERTS: a four page booklet with lyrics in both English and Japanese and a band photo on page 4. It also comes with an order sheet from CBS / SONY Inc but it is in Japanese and I'm unsure what it says. No OBI. EXCELLENT VINYL on this great progressive pop LP by some of Art Rocks best. Vinyl from Japan sells fast, so get it while you can!     Thanks for looking in our store. If you haven't shopped with us before, check out our feedback to see you can buy here with confidence. It is always important to READ THE FULL DESCRIPTION and VIEW ALL PHOTOS. We've been selling on eBay for awhile now, having stopped for a slew of surgeries and now retired from employment because of it. So, we're opening up a record store where it will be easier for me to stay active with my issues, and all proceeds from sales of our (mostly rare / scarce) vinyl goes towards making our store a reality (building records racks now, and our CD racks are full!). I post here as often as I can, please message if you're looking for something in particular. WE MAIL UNTO OTHERS AS WE WOULD HAVE THEM MAIL TO US! This will be by Media Mail, which is a bit slower but allows us to ship all US vinyl purchases FREE! We use official LP mailers with the record outside the cover, and in clean white sleeves separately from any photo inner sleeves. All vinyl is cleaned with an enzyme spray then finished with a SpinClean Machine. With sealed vinyl, please understand that we will only accept returns if the LP is still sealed, which is for our financial protection as well as yours. To all our regulars, its good to be back and we look forward to hearing from you. If you ever see wrong information in our listings, let us know, we love the trivia and always strive to be accurate. Thanks for looking, and good luck on your search for amazing music.                                                                                      Greg and Michelle Mitchell
