Notes
Japan initial first release.
Comes with an obi strip with ¥1,950 printed on it as well as on the back of the jacket.
The record company, Nippon Phonogram Co. Ltd., Tokyo, credits Philips as the label for it features the generic blue label on the vinyl & reads SFX-7266 (6360 011.1) Made in Japan. Like the original UK version this also comes in a gatefold sleeve, however instead of the tracklist/credits being printed over a group photo background, the Japanese release features a white background with the track list and durations in English, liner notes in Japanese by Tsuneo O' Mori along with the English lyrics(obviously transcribed by ear due to many mistakes) and a "Do It Rock" ment insert sheet with monochrome photos of album covers from other artists sold by Nippon Phonogram.
There is a Vertigo symbol on the obi as an homage/respect, this is not the "label" Nippon Phonogram was necessarily distributing
The record itself is black translucent when looking with a strong light source.

After living with the US copies of this which were not all that great (just very dull sounding) I was definitely pleased when I heard this 1st Japanese. Nice and loud and clearer than the US. Then I picked up a copy of the Japanese SP18 series on NEMS and that was even better than this one. Just a bit better definition, like it was pressed directly from the cutting master tape rather than a copy. And then I heard the UK Vertigo swirl and it was even better than these Japanese pressings. Just wonderful balance and definition, especially with Geezer's bass and Bill's drums. So the 1st Japanese and 1980 NEMS sound really nice and are worthy options, but the OG UK swirl is really the king.
