Odeon OP - 7387

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

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1965 ) of their original album, comin' with very rare original obi. The disc is rare red-wax, issued only for Japanese early pressing. The gate-fold cover shows “Japanese description” & “Photos of members”. Though the pin-up 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+/G+ ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is partly worn on the corners & outer-edge. It’s lightly scraped & scratched on the surface of outside, while being stained inside gate-fold. Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, dent, strip & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc has light scuff with light scratches & hairlines in places on each side. There’re a few to several spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any serious flaw ( such as deep scratch ), which is to be rated as “G+”. It goes strong on each track.
