Here is a photo gallery of my copy of Battles Without Honor and Humanity Original Soundtracks (CINK-53-54-55). The photos were taken on October 7, 2019.

NOTE: 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.
