P-5552 Stereo original white label promo 3LPs from the Band and a who's who of their contemporary artists including Ronnie Hawkins, Neil Young, Dr. John, Van Morrison, Eric Clapton, Muddy Waters, Joni Mitchell, Neil Diamond (what?), The Staples, Emmylou Harris, Bob Dylan Paul Butterfield and Ronnie Wood. Included is a 14 page booklet, lyric sheet in Japanese and English.  This is a beautiful package and the vinyl is incredible audiophile quality as only the Japanese know how to do. I have never seen another of these offered anywhere.

Cover: EX .. because of the manilla color construction paper type finish, this one would pick up and foreign material and be spotted ... there is a little of that but the cover has maintained its integrity as far as seams, edges, etc, one slight tear 1/8 inch on back of OBI strip and some light spots here and there but nothing really that appears visually distracting. ... BookletEX+toNM- ... no markings, tears wrinkles etc. ... lyric sheet is overall age discolored but not severely .. has one spot on back side in lower middle.

Vinyls: NM- .. all three are without blemish and are protected in plastic inners as the original manilla colored paper sleeves are separated to maintain them without damage .. one original paper sleeve has a little spotting and a slight scar on middle bottom.
