I own several hundred Japan pressed LPs, "King" presses being the best, Toshiba-EMI, Victor, et. al. have v. v. few clunkers regardless of year of manufactureJapan is the only country thats ever drafted a production standard into industrial law (JIS, Japan Industial Standards) for vinyl production; since around 1971 the "JIS" mark will appear in the dead wax, except on those Jazz reissues where the manufacturer has been so anal about reproducing the look of the original cover and center label that this will have been ommitted
If you can find a Tina Brooks "True Blue" you'll pay US$2,500 and up in decent condition, a Japanese release ( and there are several ) maybe $60-$70 and will be NM-
