( OBI is missing / INSERT is not originally issued )

Description: This is rare original Odeon copy ( released in 1966 ) of Beatles’ “Please Please Me” to commemorate their Japan Tour. The cover is different from UK copy, while the disc is odeon red-wax, issued only for its 1st press. Insert is not originally issued for this item. Instead 8 page colorful booklet is attached inside gate-fold cover to show "Japanese description", "English & Japanese lyrics" & "Colorful photos of their stage". Though obi is missing, it’s still hard to find this copy with red-wax in any condition even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.

Side A: Please please me, Anna, I saw her standing there, Boys, Misery, Chains, Ask me why

Side B: Twist and shout, A taste of honey, Love me do, Do you want to know a secret, Baby it’s you, There’s a place, PS I love you


Condition: G/G ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is partly worn on the corners & outer-edges. It’s scraped with ring-wear on the surface of outside. The booklet inside gate-fold is scraped & creased with minor stain-marks on its surfaces. Brown tape-stain is along the center-fold inside gate-fold. Otherwise it has no tear, dent, strip & writing…OK.

DISC: Disc has light scuffs including light hairlines here and there with several light scratches on each side. There are many spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any serious flaw ( such as deep scratch ), which is to be rated as "G”. But it plays fine on each side, much better than it looks.

OBI: OBI is missing.

INSERT: INSERT is not originally issued for this item. Instead a booklet is attached inside gate-fold cover.

INNER-BAG: FAIR, being aged, ragged and creased on its surfaces of each side. It’s split along the right-edge & bottom-edge.
