Description
Offered for sale is an original pressing of the 1973 Japan-only compilation album Best 20 by Elton John, including the original obi and rare poster.
Note: This copy appears to be unplayed new old stock.
About this copy: This copy of Best 20 is a 1973 Japanese pressing on the DJM label. The title is a bit misleading; Best 20 includes sixteen songs.
The cover is M-. The obi is M-. The “hojyuhyo” (reorder tag) is still attached.
This cover includes a 12 page photo/lyric booklet and was not issued with an insert.
The poster is M- and has no rips, tears, or holes. We think we unfolded it for the first time to take the photo.
The disc is M and is likely unplayed. Clean disc!
A nearly perfect copy of a scarce Elton John LP that is hard to find complete.
