Beatles / Help !
Japan Orig. LP


Odeon OP - 7387

Appendices: “Original OBI”, “G/F Cover”, “Insert", “Inner-Bag”, “Pin-Up” & “Red Wax"

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1965 ) of their original album, comin' with complete appendices. The disc is rare red-wax, issued only for Japanese early pressing. The gate-fold cover shows “Japanese description” & “Photos of members”. The enclosed pin-up was issued in limited number for its 1st press. It’s very hard to find this item in complete shape even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: VG/VG ( Cover / Disc )


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

DISC: Disc is good in condition, keeping glossy. It has slight scuff including slight 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 “VG”. It goes strong on each track.

INSERT: G, being lightly creased & browned with brown spots on the surface of each side.

INNER-BAG: G, being aged and creased on the surface of each side. It’s split in the middle of side & bottom-edges.
