2. Beatles / For Sale
Japan Orig. LP


Odeon OP - 7179

Appendices: "G/F Cover”, “Insert”, “Inner Sleeve” & “Red Wax”
( OBI & INNER-BAG are missing )

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1965 ) of their original album, comin' with very rare red-wax. The disc is rare red wax, issued only for Japanese early pressing. “LONG PLAYING” text is on the bottom-rim of each label of disc ( See photo ), which proves it’s very 1st press. The price on the back cover is JPY1800. The cover is gate-fold, showing “Japanese liner notes” & “Photos of members”, different from UK copy. Though obi & inner-bag are missing, it’s still hard to find this item with red wax even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: G+/G+ ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is partly worn on the corners, right-edge, top & bottom edges. It’s tanned inside gate-fold, while being lightly scraped with ring-wear on the surface of front & back. Otherwise it has no tear, dent, strip & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc slight scuffs including slight hairline in places on each side. There’re many spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scratch, which is to be rated as “G+". All flaws are so slight that it plays strong on each side.

INSERT: G, being lightly tanned with minor brown spots in places on the surface of each side.

INNER-BAG: G+, being rippled and lightly tanned with ring-crease on the surface of each side.
