Description: This is scarce Japanese Apple Edition 1st Press copy ( released in 1970 ) of their original album, comin' with rare appendices. The disc is rare Apple red-wax, issued only for Japanese early pressing. The price on the back-cover is JPY2000. Though a “brown track-list insert” is not included, it’s still hard to find this item with red wax even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.
