Bee Gees – ESP: Japanese pressing with OBI strip (Vinyl)
Bee Gees – ESP represents the group’s late-80s studio era, originally released in 1987 during a period that saw them embracing contemporary pop production while retaining the signature harmonies and melodic structure that defined their global success.
This is an official Japanese market vinyl pressing, easily identified by its inclusion of the OBI strip (帯) — a characteristic exclusive to Japanese domestic releases, making it especially appealing to high-end music collectors who value regional pressings with original packaging elements.
Japanese pressings from this era are well regarded for their meticulous manufacturing standards, quiet vinyl surfaces, and precise print quality. The OBI strip adds significant collectability, serving not only as a design accent, but as an authentic marker of the record’s origin and first-market release in Japan.
The album includes well-known tracks such as:
-
“You Win Again” – an international chart success for the group
-
“E.S.P.”
-
“The Longest Night”
-
“Angela”
All performed and written by the Bee Gees, with no speculative claims added.
For collectors, the appeal lies in three key truths:
-
Japanese pressing authenticity
-
Original OBI strip intact
-
Classic Bee Gees studio album from 1987
A stylish and legitimate addition to any serious Bee Gees vinyl archive — particularly for buyers who prioritise Japanese editions, original OBI presentation, and official catalogue pressings over standard retail copies.
