About this copy: This copy of Battle Of The Bee Gees & Jack Bruce, Eric Clapton, Blind Faith is a 1970 Japanese pressing on the Polydor label.
The front and the back of the can, where the artwork is printed, is visually M-, but there is some rust on part of the outer edge of the can. There is some discoloration from age on the inside of the can. Overall, we’d rate the can VG+.
The two foam inserts are VG+ with some discoloration from age. The 12 page lyric/photo booklet is VG+ with some foxing, but no tears.
This set was issued without an obi. The price tag that was used instead of an obi is missing.
The two discs are M- and look unplayed. There is some foxing on the side four label. Beautiful discs!
A nice copy of a rare Bee Gees/Blind Faith/Cream-related item.
