Description
Record is in VG condition.
This is a Taiwan Import on CSJ-1008. The album is originally from 1970. The man on front cover has a much lighter brown face, than other copies of this album. The back cover is tinted blue. On the inside of this jacket is the same front and back cover, except the man's face to extremely dark brown.
Taiwan imports are copies of US albums that were pressed without obeying copyright laws. They were pressed by small companies in Taiwan ( or Formosa ), in extremely limited numbers ( between 100 and 500 ). It was illegal to export them out of the country, so the only way they got out was from US servicemen who bought them there and then brought them back when they returned from overseas duty. Then they had to be sold to a used record store and then resold to a collector. There are many cover and label variations to watch for. Sometimes they are pressed on colored vinyl. Most of the time the front covers are poor quality copies. Many back covers are different or will have the lyrics printed, some with errors and typos. Sometimes there are album slicks from other albums inside the covers. The US record company logo is gone and a Chinese record company and record number are in it's place. All of their labels are unique with lots of Chinese character writing. The covers are made of paper which is sealed in very thin plastic, inside and outside.
