( OBI is missing / INSERT is not included )

Description: This is scarce Japanese Apple Edition 1st Press copy ( released in early 1970 ) of their masterpiece album, comin' with very rare red wax. The disc is beautiful Apple red wax, issued only for Japanese Apple edition 1st pressing. The insert is not included in this item. But it’s not sure if it was originally issued for this item. It’s hard to find this item with red wax even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: G/EX- ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is lightly worn on the right-edge. It’s lightly scraped on the surface of front & back, with ring-wear on the back. Inside gate-fold, it’s lightly stained on its top-rim. Otherwise it has no tear, strip, dent & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. It has slight scuffs in part on each side. A tiny “orange spot” which seems “misprint” on Side B-2 makes minor “pop” 2 ~ 3 time. There are several spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scratch & hairline, which is to be rated as "EX-".

OBI: OBI is missing.

INSERT: INSERT is not included in this item. But it’s not sure if it was originally issued for this item.

INNER-BAG: G+, being creased with ring-crease on its surface of each side. Outer-edges are lightly worn. Otherwise no tear or split on outer-edges.
