Japan Early Press LP


Odeon OP - 8442

Appendices: "Original OBI”, “G/F Cover”, “Insert”, “Inner-Bag” & “Red Wax"

Description: This is scarce Japanese Early Press copy ( released in 1968 ) of their original album, comin' with complete appendices. The disc is beautiful red-wax, issued only for Japanese early pressing. The cover is gate-fold, showing “Japanese liner notes” & “Photos of members”, different from UK copy. It’s very hard to find this item in complete shape 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 partly worn corners, top, right-edge & lightly other outer edges. It’s lightly scraped on the surface of outside. Light ring-wear is on the back. It’s partly tanned along the side-rims inside gate-fold. Otherwise it has no tear, dent, strip & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. It has a few slight scuffs on each side. There’re several spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scratch & hairline, which is to be rated as "EX+". Clean disc for its old age, we guarantee you.

OBI: G, being torn in the top-edge & partly bottom-edge. The bottom-rim of front side is creased. It’s rippled and partly stained on the surface of back side ( mainly on its top & bottom rims ).

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

INNER-BAG: VG, being lightly rippled with ring-crease on its surface of each side.
