Japan Early Press LP


Odeon OP - 8442

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

Description: This is scarce Japanese Early Press copy ( released in 1968 ) of their original album, comin' with very rare red wax. The disc is beautiful red wax, issued only for Japanese early pressing. The cover is thin gate-fold, showing “Japanese liner notes” & “Photos of members” inside, which is different from UK copy. Enclosed insert is with “English lyrics”. Though obi is 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: VG/VG+ ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for partly worn corners, top, bottom & right-edge. It’s lightly tanned and stained inside gate-fold, while being with moderate ring-crease and ripples on the front & back. Though it’s also stained with brown specks inside “mouth”, it can’t be seen from outside. Otherwise it has no tear, dent, strip & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is good in condition, keeping glossy. It has some slight scuffs on Side B and a few on Side A. There’re several spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scratch & hairline, which is to be rated as "VG+".

OBI: Missing.

INSERT: G+, being lightly tanned and stained on the surface of each side.

INNER SLEEVE: G+, being moderately rippled on its surface of each side. The middle of bottom-edge is split short.
