▶ Specific Comments:
**AUTHENTIC FIRST PRESSING with Original Obi Strip - Excellent Condition**
This item is an authentic first pressing with the original obi strip.
The overall condition is very good to excellent, with the obi, jacket, and vinyl all in well-preserved condition.
Important authentication information for this album:
This album and the previous first album were initially released at a price of 1950 yen. However, very shortly after the release, the price was revised to 2000 yen while maintaining the exact same obi design and catalog numbers. It's essential to recognize that there are two versions with identical features except for the price - the 1950 yen version and the 2000 yen version.
This item features the 1950 yen price printed at the bottom of the obi strip, confirming it as the true first pressing.
(The 1950 yen price on the back bottom of the jacket also remains unchanged. Please refer to the attached photos.)
The second pressing does not use a revision sticker but has 2000 yen directly printed on both the obi strip and the back of the jacket. Since all other elements are identical, this difference is easy to miss without careful inspection.
