Beatles / A Hard Day’s Night
Japan Orig. LP


Odeon OP - 7123

Appendices: "F/B Different Cover”, "Insert" & “Red Wax”
( OBI and COMPANY SLEEVE are Missing )

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1964 ) of their OST album, coming with rare red wax. Back cover is with “Japanese liner notes” on the back, and the front cover’s artwork is also different from UK copy. Disc is rare red wax, issued only for its early press. “LONG PLAYING” text is on the bottom-rim of each label of disc ( See photo ) which proves that it’s very 1st press. Price on the back cover is JPY1800. Though obi and company sleeve are 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+/G+ ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for partly worn corners & right-edge. It’s slightly tanned with light ring-crease for aging on the surface of each side. Minor creases are on the outer rims of each side. Otherwise it has none of any tear, dent, strip & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc has slight scuffs with a few minor scratches in places on each side ( See photo ). There’re some spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any serious flaw ( such as deep scratch ), which is to be rated as “G+". All flaws are so slight that it plays fine on each side.

OBI: Missing

INSERT: G, being lightly creased and tanned with brown spots in places for aging on the surface of each side.

INNER SLEEVE: Missing
