Description: This is scarce Japanese Apple Edition 1st Press copy ( released in late 1960’s ) of their original album, coming with rare appendices. The disc is marvelous red-wax, issued only for Japanese early pressing. Though obi is missing, it’s still hard to find this item with red-wax even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.
