Beatles / Help !
Japan Early Press LP


Odeon OP - 8151

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

Description: This is scarce Japanese early press 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 description” & “Photos of members”. The pin-up is not originally issued for this edition. 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.


Condition: G/VG+ ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is lightly worn on the corners & outer-edge. It’s stained with brown spots in places inside gate-fold, while being lightly scraped with some minor creases on the front & back. Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, dent, strip & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is good in condition, keeping glossy. It has slight mark of “record cleaner residue” ? with several slight scuffs on Side B. A few slight scratches are on Side A-1~2 ( inaudible ). There’re some spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any hairline, which is to be rated as “VG+”.

OBI: OBI is missing.

INSERT: G, being creased & stained with brown spots on the surface of each side.

INNER-BAG: G+, being creased with light brown spots on the surface of each side
