George Harrison – Teardrops / Save The World, a rare Japanese white-label promotional 7-inch single by Dark Horse (catalog P-1559D), released in 1981, with VG+ sleeve and VG+ vinyl.
Description from the seller
Scarce original Japanese white-label promotional pressing of George Harrison's Teardrops, issued in 1981 on Dark Horse Records. Teardrops was the second single from Harrison's album Somewhere in England, following the major success of All Those Years Ago. The song emerged during one of the most turbulent periods of Harrison's solo career—Warner Bros. had rejected the first version of the album and requested material with stronger commercial potential, making Teardrops an interesting document of that creative moment. The B-side, "Save The World," closes the Somewhere in England album and was one of the songs retained from Harrison's original submitted version, adding to the historical significance of this pairing.

Sleeve (VG+):
Very presentable original Japanese picture sleeve displaying some age-related yellowing and residue throughout. Despite these signs of time, the sleeve remains attractive and displays well overall, grading a strong VG+.
Vinyl (VG+):
The record plays well overall but shows considerable superficial wear, particularly noticeable on Side 2. Visually not the strongest example, though playback remains serviceable. Conservatively graded VG+.
