Import Albums are one of the things I like to look for. Not that have any high value but it's just cool to see how other Countries were in to Music from the United States back in the 50's-early 70's. Many Imports are colored records with Orange being the most common, Red, Green and a few others. Not all are Japanese! Some are plan old black vinyl with the language of country on label as well as covers. Covers seem to be thin paper with a plastic sleeve incasing the cover. Record then slides into plastic sleeve. Covers do seem to deteriorate faster than normal covers due to cheap paper. But they are fun and PRETTY! LOL

Nice Taiwan pressings. I have over 1000 of them. You have to be SO careful when playing them, as the vinyl is substandard, be sure to set stylus weight at no more than 3 grams. The sound will deteriorate over time if not. Background static is not uncommon, and was a result of the copying/pressing methods they used in Taiwan, as none were mastered at their plants.
