azlanham Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

violetflower Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Good album. I have a Dutch pressing, no idea what yours is worth. Probably not much. Here's some info on the label that put it out: http://www.discogs.com/label/First+Records+%282%29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonbeams Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 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: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanchong_District Japanese pressings have really thick cardboard sleeves and Japanese language. I own one Taiwanese pressing and the jacket is flimsy, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
