Beatles / Help !
Japan Orig. LP


Odeon OP - 7387

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

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in late 1960’s ) of their original album, comin' with rare appendices. The disc is rare red wax, issued only for Japanese early pressing. The gate-fold cover shows “Japanese liner notes” & “Photos of members”. The insert is with “English lyrics”. Though obi & pin-up 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 & lightly other outer-edge. It’s lightly stained inside gate-fold, while being lightly scraped on the surface of front & back. Several scratch lines are in the middle of front. Light brown stain-mark is in the right top corner of back side. Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, dent, strip & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc has light scuffs in places with some scratches and hairline on each side ( inaudible ). There’re many spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any serious flaw ( such as deep scratch ), which is to be rated as “G”. It’s still enjoyable, playing strong on each side.

OBI: Missing.

INSERT: G+, being rippled and lightly tanned for aging with minor brown spots on the surface of each side.

INNER SLEEVE: FAIR, being creased, aged and light tanned on the surface of each side. It’s split along the upper left edge and short in the middle of bottom-edge. The most part of top-flap is missing.

PIN-UP: Missing.
