Description
Offered for sale is a copy of the 1969 Japan-only compilation album The World of Hits, including the original obi and lyric insert.
Note: Along with tracks by the Zombies, Them, Procol Harum, and others, this album includes an otherwise unreleased track from the UK band Tinkerbell's Fairydust, whose only album was canceled shortly before release.
About this copy: This copy of The World of Hits is a 1969 Japanese pressing on the London label.
The cover is VG- with a lot of foxing on the back and a 7" (10 cm) repaired split at the top edge and a 9" (22 cm) repaired slit at the spine. Aside from the repaired splits, the cover presents well.
The obi is VG, with quite a bit of foxing and repaired tears at the top and bottom edges.
The disc is VG++ and close to M- on side one, with a number of spindle marks on the label. Side two is VG+ with a couple of light scuffs. It's a clean disc that has been well cared for.
A nice, if imperfect, copy of a very rare LP and the only copy we've ever seen. This album is not listed on Discogs.
