Odeon OP - 7549

Appendices: "G/F Cover w/ Booklet ( inlayed inside )", “Inner Sleeve” & “Odeon Red Wax”
( OBI is missing / INSERT is not originally issued )

Description: This is scarce Japan TOUR Edition 1st press copy ( released in 1966 ) of "With the Beatles". This album was issued in 1966 to commemorate their Japan tour. Insert is not originally issued for this item. Instead a booklet is originally inlayed inside gate-fold cover showing "Japanese liner notes", "English lyrics" & "Colorful photos of members". The disc is beautiful Odeon Red Wax, which rarely appears in the market in any condition. Though obi is missing, it’s still hard to find this copy with the red wax even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.

Side A: All my loving, Please Mr. postman, Don't bother me, It won't be long, All I've got to do, Little child, Till there was you

Side B: Roll over Beethoven, Money, I wanna be your man, Hold me tight, Devil in her heart, Not a second time, You've really got a fold on me


Condition: G/EX- ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is partly worn on the corners, top, bottom, right-edge & lightly spine-edge. It’s slightly scraped on the surface of front & black. Inside gate-fold, white pages of booklet are stained with brown spots ( See photos ). Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, dent, strip & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. It has slight scuffs in part on the “music surface” of 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-”. Though there’re many scuffs on each “inner groove”, they are not music surface and don’t affect the sound.

OBI: Missing.

INSERT: INSERT is not originally issued for this item.

INNER SLEEVE: G+, being creased on the surface of each side. Otherwise no tear or split on outer edges.
