Photo Gallery:

Here is a photo gallery of my copy of Daimajin Original Soundtracks (CINK-27-28-29). The last photo is an advertisement poster for the release of the album. The photos were taken on October 8, 2018.

NOTE #1: This album does not include an obi. In place of the obi, a sticker is placed on the outside of the shrink wrap. So I wouldn't discard the sticker and to protect the box, I carefully cut an opening in the shrink wrap so the album can be released from the box with ease, leaving the rest of the shrink wrap intact.

NOTE #2: Akira Ifukube 100th Anniversary Concert Vol. 5 (3SCD-0037), not featured in this blog, was included with this particular Amazon Japan order. It is seen in the second and third photos.
