2. Beatles / A Hard Day’s Night
Japan Early Press LP


Odeon OP - 8147

Appendices: “Different F/B Cover”, “Inner Sleeve”, “Insert” & “Red Wax”
( OBI is missing )

Description: This is scarce Japanese Early Press copy ( released in 1966 ) of their ost album ( in Japan ), comin' with very rare red-wax. The disc is a beautiful red wax, issued only for its early press. The cover is flipped back on its top & bottom-rims, showing “Japanese liner notes” on the back. It’s different from UK copy. Though obi is 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/EX ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for lightly worn corners & right-edge. It’s ripple with ring-crease on the surface of each side. Lower right-rim of front is partly creased. A small brown stain-mark is in upper & lower spine-rims of each side. Otherwise it has no tear, strip, dent & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. It has a few slight scuffs on each side with a slight hairline on Side A. There’re spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scratch, which is to be rated as "EX”.

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

INNER-BAG: G+, being lightly rippled on the surface of each side. The top-flap wrinkles with its left-rim torn off.
