*** LP ： Japan 1970 / DJM 東芝音工 / FP-80133 ***
■　コンディション　■
A / A-
ジャケット：細かなエンボス加工の施された重厚で美しい見開きジャケットです。あえて言えば背表紙下角部に微細なスレがあるだけ、奇跡の新品同様極美品です。
ディスク：レーベルは微細なヒゲがほんの少し。盤面は微細な薄スレがそこそこ出ていますが極めて表面的なものです。ざっとつまみ聴き試聴の結果も良好でした。
2つ折り解説／訳詞付属。

エルトン・ジョンの2作目「僕の歌は君の歌」。
エルトンはやっぱこれにとどめを刺すでしょう。
私は10作目まで揃えましたが結局のところ本作を聴くことが圧倒的に多いです。
永遠の名盤です。

訳詞付きがうれしい日本盤。
レアな東芝音工最初期の赤盤です。
