A Passion Play = パッション・プレイ - Very Good Plus (VG+) / Very Good (VG)

Notes

First Japanese issue came in a deluxe matte gatefold sleeve with thick, orangey-red obi with white text, Japanese insert with Japanese language liner notes and Japanese lyrics to A Passion Play, giant folded poster, and 8-page Linwell Theatre program that fits into die-cut slots on each side of the inner gatefold. The story & image printed on inner gatefold are matched with the printing on pages 4 & 5 of the program so that when properly opened/inserted/aligned the images & print match up fairly seamlessly.

The thinner region to the right on the obi states:
豪華カラーポスターつき もついています。= With gorgeous color poster is also attached.
さらに カラー・リーフレット クリサリス 3大アーティスト = In addition Color leaflet Chrysalis 3 Major Artists

A similar Japanese pressing with a thinner obi and no poster is seen here [r=30217649].

No timings present on this release.
