Beatles / Something New
Japan Early Press LP


Apple AP - 80033

Appendices: “Original Medal OBI”, “G/F DIF Cover", “Inner-Bag” & “Insert”

Description: This is scarce Japanese Early Press copy ( released in early 1970’s ) of their US album, coming with complete appendices. The gate-fold cover shows inside “Japanese description” & “Photo of members”, different from any UK copy. The disc is not red but ordinary black. It’s hard to find this item in complete shape even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: VG/EX ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for partly worn corners & outer-edges. It’s scraped in places on the surface of each side. Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, dent, strip, stain & writing…OK.

DISC: Disc is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. It has a few slight scuffs on each side, with a minor scratch on Side A-1 ( inaudible ). There are several spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any hairline, which is to be rated as "EX". It plays fine on each track.
