Up for auction is a premium lot of great collector's value, featuring one of the most iconic albums in the history of hard rock: AC/DC's Back in Black, a first Japanese pressing with catalog number Atlantic P-10906A, released in 1980 by Warner-Pioneer for the Japanese market. This specific edition, bearing the prefix P-10906A, is one of the first pressings distributed in Japan immediately after the album's international release in July 1980. Thanks to its excellent audio quality and limited print run compared to the European and American versions, it is particularly sought-after by collectors. The item up for auction features the original cover with a red Japanese obi stripe, a valuable detail for enthusiasts, and the vinyl with a green and red Atlantic label, complete with catalog number P-10906A, identifying the first pressings made by Warner-Pioneer. Japanese pressings from this period are renowned for their meticulous production, high-quality materials, and quiet grooves, characteristics prized by collectors and audiophiles alike. The lot is in excellent condition, with the vinyl professionally ultrasonically cleaned. This process, often used in high-end collectibles, removes microscopic impurities, ensuring crystal-clear sound and improved record longevity. The cover and inserts also show excellent overall preservation, maintaining a refined, collectible appearance. An additional value is the presence of two documents in Japanese, as well as a third document bearing signatures attributed to the band members. The documents are stamped, suggesting a possible archival or promotional origin. It is important to note, however, that no official certification for the signatures is currently available. Nonetheless, this material further enhances the lot, making it a rare and attractive proposition for the most avid collectors. Back in Black, released in 1980, is considered a milestone in hard rock and one of the best-selling albums in music history. Recorded as a tribute to Bon Scott, it marked the arrival of Brian Johnson as the band's lead singer. The album features legendary tracks such as "Hells Bells," "Shoot to Thrill," and "You Shook Me All Night Long," establishing itself as an absolute cornerstone of international hard rock discography. This first Japanese pressing, Atlantic P-10906A**, offered in impeccable condition despite some slight signs of age, is accompanied by the original obi and exclusive documentation. It represents an extraordinary opportunity for collectors of '80s rock records and lovers of high-quality Japanese pressings. It is an exemplary combination of musical quality, historical rarity, and collectible prestige.
