Beatles / VI
Japan Early Press LP


Apple AP – 80035

Appendices: "Medal OBI", "G/F Cover", “Inner-Bag” & "Insert"

Description: This is scarce Japanese Early Press copy ( released in the mid 1970’s ) of their US compilation album, coming with complete appendices. This album was issued with gate-fold cover in Japan, showing inside "Japanese description" & “Photos of members". It’s different from US copy. “Apple” medal is attached to the upper portion of front obi, which is pretty popular in the market. The disc is not red but ordinary black. The price on obi & cover is JPY2000. It's very hard to find this item in complete shape even in my country. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: VG+/EX- ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for lightly worn corners & outer-edges. It’s lightly scraped around the rims inside gate-fold. Minor spots are in upper portions of front & back. Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, strip, dent & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. Tiny minor scuff-marks are in part on Side B, and a little on Side A. There are a few spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scratch & hairline, which is to be rated as "EX-".

OBI: G, being torn and taped with brown stain-mark in the top-rim of “Apple Medal” portion of front. On the back, it’s lightly creased with light brown spots on its surface. A supply-tag is attached to the top of back.

INSERT: VG+, being lightly discolored on the surface of each side.

INNER-BAG: VG, being lightly waving with ring-crease on each side. A few short tears in the bottom-rim of die-cut circle.
