Description: This is scarce Japanese Early press copy ( released around 1970 ) of their masterpiece double album, coming with rare appendices. "The Beatles" logo is embossed in lower portion of front-cover. The discs are not red, but ordinary black. A gold new price “JPY4400” is on the top-rim of obi and bottom-rim of back cover. Though an insert is missing, it’s still hard to find this item with obi even in my country. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.
