JETHRO TULL Aqualung (Super Rare 1971 Japanese 11-track promotional vinyl LP with custom promotional silver on blue Reprise labels manufactured by Warner Bros.-Pioneer Corporation, housed in a textured gatefold picture sleeve with the fold-out Japanese/lyric insert plus the elusive and incredibly rare shaped 'Rock Age' obi-strip. Please see additional information below for details on condition)
TRACKLISTING AND EXTRA INFORMATION
An obi-strip is a paper band which goes round the album or fits across one side in some cases & means 'Sash' in Japanese. These are often discarded by purchasers or are damaged & so very few survive the passage of time on older LPs.
Shaped obis were very rare & also the most easily damaged - classic examples being the Apple 'Medallion' obi from 1970 & the 'Now' obi & the multicoloured 'Rock Age' obi from 1971.
The shaped 'Rock Age' obi-strip is one of the rarest to be found.
In Japan they have reached almost legendary status as so few have survived.
They are now nearly impossible to find.
The sleeve has just a little light general wear with just a little corner wear, the insert also has just light signs of age.
The extremely rare obi has unfortunately, a small section missing on the front and a minor tear along the bottom.
The labels have a few spindle marks, but the vinyl remains clean with minimal signs of play.
A very hard to find pressing with the almost impossible to find obi, although not mint still a really nice example and the first we have ever seen.
