Beatles / A Hard Day’s Night
Japan Early Press LP


Odeon OP - 8147

Appendices: “Different F/B Cover”, “Inner-Bag”, “Insert” & “Red Wax”
( OBI is missing )

Description: This is scarce Japanese Early Press copy ( released in late 1960’s ) of their ost album ( in Japan ), comin' with very rare red-wax. The disc is a beautiful red-wax, issued only for its early press. The cover is flipped back on its top & bottom-rims, showing “Japanese description” on the back. It’s different from UK copy. 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: VG+/VG+ ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for partly worn corners & right-edge. It’s partly waving in left top & right bottom corners. Short creases are around rims of each side. Slight ring-wear is on the front & back, with minor stain-marks on the top-rim of front. Otherwise it has no tear, strip, dent & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is good in condition, keeping glossy. It has slight scuffs including slight hairlines in part on each side. There’re several spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any serious flaw ( such as deep scratch ), which is to be rated as "VG+”. All flaws are so slight that it plays strong on each side.

OBI: OBI is missing.

INSERT: VG+, being lightly creased with some brown spots in part on the surface of each side.

INNER-BAG: G+, being creased with ring-crease and some brown spots on its surface of each side. The right bottom corner of top-flap is torn off.
