Various – Perfect 24 (Film Soundtracks) 2x LP (1972)

Very good Japanese import gatefold issue. 

Featuring 24 film themes. 

Impressive cover versions of the original songs and themes performed by unknown artists.

A rare release with its original insert Jan-March 1973 calendar sheet. Made by Polydor KK in Japan.

It could be hard to find a better example of this Japanese rarity.

Condition
VINYLS: VG/VG. Disc 1 looks fantastically clean on visual inspection. A few faint marks and scuffs on disc 2. Played just pre-listing and sound clarity is superb on 1A. Some static/surface noise at run-ins to 1B, 2A and 2B. Play with no skipping, jumping or sticking. The odd light click and static during some cues. 1A sounds best with no obvious static or defects. A decent listen overall.
OUTER SLEEVE/COVER: VG. Superb thick-card gatefold edition with minor wear to bottom edge and corners lightly bent. Top edge undamaged, corners mildly worn. Apertures in great shape. Spine intact but with some creases. No defects on front and only very faint marks on back. Yellow colour spread of inner gatefold is clean and unmarked. Track listing in English and Japanese and sleeve notes in Japanese. A great example.
INNER SLEEVES: EX. Original. Clear D-shaped poly sleeves. Crinkling and creasing but intact.
 INSERT: VG. Original Jan-March 1973 calendar mini-poster with a scene from Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet. Stains round edges but no rips.
