Beatles / Help !
Japan Orig. LP


Odeon OP - 7387

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

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1965 ) of their original album, comin' with complete appendices. The disc is rare red-wax, issued only for Japanese early pressing. The gate-fold cover shows “Japanese liner notes” & “Photos of members”. The enclosed pin-up was issued in limited number only for some early copies of the 1st press. It’s very hard to find this item in complete shape even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.
