Japan Early Press LP


Apple AP - 80011

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

Description: This is scarce Japanese Early Pressing copy ( released in early 1970’s ) of their 1st album ( in US ), coming with complete appendices. This album was issued with gate-fold cover in Japan, showing inside "Japanese description" & “Photos of members". The disc is not red, but black. The obi is unique “medallion” in shape in “apple” of front. The price of obi & cover is JPY2000. It's hard to find this item in complete shape even in my country. 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 lightly scraped on the surface of each side, while being lightly tanned on that of outside. Lower spine-edge is stained. Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, strip, dent & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. It has minor spots on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scuff, scratch, hairline & spindle-mark on each label, which can be rated as "EX+". No flaw on the groove of each side and no spindle-mark on the label. Without spots on the label, it can be “MINT”. Anyway, very clean disc, we guarantee you.

OBI: G, being torn and taped in the bottom of “apple” ( See photo ). It’s also creased on the surface of each side. A supply-tag is attached to the top of back.

INSERT: G+, being lightly tanned and stained on the surface of each side. A folding crease is along the left-rim.

INNER-BAG: VG, being lightly creased with ring-crease on each side.
