Beatles / Meet the Beatles!
Japan Orig. LP


Odeon OR – 7041 ( MONO )

Appendices: "F/B Thin Cover", “Insert” & “Red Wax”
( OBI & INNER-SLEEVE are missing )

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1964 ) of their 1st album ( in Japan ). The disc is rare odeon red wax, issued only for Japanese early pressing. “LONG PLAYING” text is on the bottom-rim of each label of disc ( See photo ), which proves it’s very 1st press. The price on the back cover is JPY1500. Though obi & inner sleeve are missing, it’s still hard to find this item with red wax even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: VG/G ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for partly worn corners, right-edge & lightly other outer edges. It’s rippled and creased on the right of front & left of back. Light ring-wear is on the front & back. Minor creases are around the rims of each side. Otherwise it has no tear, strip, dent, stain & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc has slight scuffs including slight scratches & hairlines here and there on each side. There are some spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any serious flaw ( such as deep scratch ), which is to be rated as "G+". All flaws are so slight that it plays strong on each side.

OBI: OBI is missing.

INSERT: G+, being rippled and lightly tanned with some brown spots on the surface of each side.

INNER SLEEVE: Missing.
