Photo Gallery:

Here is a photo gallery of my copy of Heisei Gamera Trilogy Original Soundtracks (CINK-90-91-92). The photos were taken on February 10, 2020.

NOTE #1: The album was part of a larger order that included Memories of Youth Dramas Music Complete Works: Youth Center! Music File (VPCD-81134), Anokoro Film Soundtrack Series: Yatsuhaka Village (SOST-3017) and Anokoro Film Soundtrack Series: August Without Emperor Film Original Music Collection (SOST-3019). These albums are seen in the second photo.

NOTE #2: The hardcover box and the individual do 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.
