Apple AP - 80011

Appendices: "Medallion OBI", "G/F Cover", “Inner Sleeve” & "Insert"

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1970 ) of their 1st album ( in US ), coming with complete appendices. This album was issued with gate-fold cover in Japan, showing inside "Japanese liner notes" & “Photos of members". The disc is not red, but black. The obi is unique “medallion” in shape in “apple” of front. The price of obi and cover is JPY2000. It's hard to find this item in complete shape even in our country. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: VG/NM ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for lightly worn corners & outer edges. Minor brown spots are in places on the back and white portion of front. Inside gate-fold is clean. Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, strip, dent & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is nearly TOP in condition, keeping glossy. A few slight spots are on Side B-4 & 5. Otherwise it has none of any scuff, scratch, hairline & spindle-mark on each label, which can be rated as "NM". No flaw on the groove of Side A & both labels …very clean disc, we guarantee you.

OBI: G+, being creased in the left-rim of “apple”, as usual with this type of obi. It’s partly torn on the top-edge. The surfaces of front & back are lightly ripped and stained. A supply-tag in the top of back is creased.

INSERT: VG+, being slightly tanned with some brown spots on the surface of each side.

INNER SLEEVE: VG, being lightly rippled with ring-crease on each side.
