Shinko Publishing.
Published 1976.
A4+ paperback, Japan
The size and format is similar to the HM Photo Book. Its a strange
book, being a mixture of lots of black and white photographs of the
band (on and off stage) chosen mostly at random, with a selection of
lyrics translated into Japanese throughout.
There are quite a lot of
rare photographs (mostly of Mk 2 and Mk 3), including a number from
the 1972 and 1973 shows in Japan, so it's worth hunting for, but it
is an old publication and only published in Japan, so copies are not
easy to find. It came with a dust jacket.
Note also that (in common
with a lot of the older books listed here) if you're buying second
hand, the glue in the binding does dry out over the years so covers -
even pages - often come loose.
