Photo Gallery:

Here is a photo gallery of my copy of Hunchback Man Ghost Story Original Soundtrack (CINK-31). This was ordered with Great Insect War Original Soundtrack (CINK-9), and is seen in the second photo. Please see the previous post for that particular album. Like with CINK-9, I was an idiot and forgot to take photos of the album while still sealed. The photos were taken on September 16, 2019.

The last photo is an advertisement poster for the releases of Edogawa Ranpo Collection: Horrors of Malformed Men Original Soundtrack (CINK-30) and Hunchback Man Ghost Story Original Soundtrack (CINK-31).
