Description
OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN – LONG LIVE LOVE – ORIGINAL 1974 JAPANESE VINYL LP – HAND SIGNED IN GOLD MARKER – WITH ORIGINAL OBI STRIP
A rare and beautiful Olivia Newton-John collectible featuring an original 1974 Japanese pressing of her album Long Live Love, personally hand-signed by Olivia Newton-John in gold metallic marker on the lower left of the front cover.
The autograph reads "Olivia Newton-John" and appears prominently on the lower left portion of the album cover. The beautiful gold signature complements the original artwork, which features a classic portrait of Olivia surrounded by delicate floral illustrations.
Released in Japan in 1974 by EMI Records, this vintage LP features the original Japanese album artwork, the distinctive EMI record labels, the original Japanese obi strip, and a foldout insert containing English lyrics, Japanese translations, and album information.
The original purple and orange obi strip features Olivia's photograph, Japanese lettering, the EMI logo, catalog number EMS-80005, and the original ¥2,500 retail price.
While the original Japanese pressing is collectible in its own right, finding an example personally signed by Olivia in gold marker, complete with its original obi strip and accompanying insert, makes this a particularly special addition to an Olivia Newton-John collection.
