Description: This is scarce Japanese Apple Edition 1st Pressing 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 lightly worn right-edge. It’s lightly scraped & scratched on the surface of front & back. Light ring-wear is on the back. Inside gate-fold, it’s lightly stained. Otherwise it has no tear, strip, dent & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is good in condition, keeping glossy. It has slight scuffs including slight scratch & hairline in places on each side. There are some spindle-marks on each label.
