Beatles / Help !
Japan Orig. LP


Odeon OP - 7387

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

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+/EX- ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for lightly creased spine-edge. It’s partly scraped along the left-rim of center-fold inside gate-fold. The left top hand of back side is partly creased. It’s clean outside and totally inside gate-fold. Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, dent, strip & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. It has several slight scuffs with slight stain-marks on the surface of each side. There’re some to many spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scratch & hairline, which is to be rated as “EX-”.
