Description: This is scarce Japanese Apple Edition 1st Press copy ( released in early 1970 ) of their masterpiece album, comin' with very rare red wax. The disc is beautiful Apple red wax, issued only for Japanese Apple edition 1st pressing. The insert is not included in this item. But it’s not sure if it was originally issued for this item. It’s hard to find this item with red wax 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 slight ring-wear on the back. It’s lightly stained with brown spots on upper portion inside gate-fold, while being clean on the front & back. Otherwise it has no tear, edge-wear, strip, dent & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is good in condition, keeping glossy. It has a tiny scratch at the end of Side A, which clicks. There are a few spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scuff & hairline, which is to be rated as "VG+". No flaw on the groove of Side B and mostly on Side A. A tiny scratch at the end of Side A is only flaw on the groove.

OBI: OBI is missing.

INSERT: INSERT is not included in this item. But it’s not sure if it was originally issued for this item.

INNER-BAG: VG, being lightly creased in corners with ring-crease on its surface of each side. Otherwise no tear or split on outer-edges.
