Question on Japanese (I Think) Pressing


Recommended Posts

I found a Japanese (I Think) pressing of Kris Kristofferson's "Jesus Was A Capricorn" at a local Goodwill.

The Label is "First Records" FL-2293

The LP jacket is in a clear plastic sleeve but the jacket itself looks just like the American album cover except it is made of a very thin paper. No sturdy like American LP's. There is also Asian symbols on rear of jacket at bottom.

I could not find an example of this ANYWHERE online.

How rare is this pressing? What is it worth? Looking for some expert advice. Thanks!

Yup, I believe that's a Taiwanese pressing, but I'm not too familiar with Taiwan or China. It could be a Chinese pressing.

On bottom right, it says 三重市. which is a city in Japan, but I did a Google search and found one in Taiwan as well:

Japanese pressings have really thick cardboard sleeves and Japanese language. I own one Taiwanese pressing and the jacket is flimsy, too.
