Odeon OP - 7179

Appendices: “G/F Cover", "Company Inner Bag" & "Red Wax"
( OBI & INSERT are missing )

Description: This is scarce Japanese Early Press copy ( released in 1965 ) of their original album, comin' with rare appendices. The disc is rare red wax, issued only for Japanese early press. The cover is gate-fold, showing “Japanese liner notes” & “Photos of members”, different from UK copy. The price on the cover and obi is JPY1800. Though obi & insert 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: G+/G ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is partly worn on the corners & outer-edges. It’s lightly scraped and rippled with light ring-wear on the surface of outside, while being tanned with minor brown spots inside gate-fold. Otherwise it has no tear, dent, strip & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc has many slight scuffs with a few minor scratches on each side. There are many 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: Missing.

INSERT: Missing.

COMPANY INNER BAG: G, being aged, tanned and stained on the surface of each side. It’s split largely along the right-edge.
