Description

This is the holy grail of strange Japanese jazz-classical: Tadao Sawai, Hozan Yamamoto ‎– Koto Amadeus Mozart, released on RCA in 1969

The record is in VERY GOOD++++ condition. I know 4 pluses is absurd, but this is in absurdly good shape. There are no flaws what so ever, except for one tiny little surface mark at the beginning of side one. You can't hear it while playing the record, but it is visible under light. That tiny little scuff which I suspect was done at the factory is the only thing keeping this from being near mint. Honestly, it overall looks and sounds near mint.

The jacket is in VERY GOOD ++++ condition. Same story as the record: Totally near mint aside from one little tiny blemish. There is a tiny bit of ring wear on the top of the rear face. Otherwise, there is no other ring wear, edge wear, or marks of any kind. This is a spectacularly well kept jacket.
The original obi is included and is in NEAR MINT condition. The obi actually IS flawless, not just close to it. No blemishes of any kind anywhere on it. This is a perfect example.
The original inner sleeve is included and is in VERY GOOD+++ condition. This is also practically mint, but it has one crease in one of the corners. This is the norm for inner sleeves, so this is absolutely not a concern.
The best part about this deal is the original outer sleeve is included in VERY GOOD++ condition. For however many of these records still exist, there are even fewer of these outer sleeves around. Check the pictures above to see that this is branded:
"VICTOR MUSIC SHOP, KANZAWA AUDIO CENTER" along with the address and their old telephone number.
For anyone interested in collecting vintage Japanese music memorabilia, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
