Beatles / VI
Japan Early Press LP


Apple AP – 80035

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

Description: This is scarce Japanese Early Press copy ( released in 1970 or a little later ) of their US compilation album, coming with complete appendices. This album was issued with gate-fold cover in Japan, showing inside "Japanese liner notes" & “Photos of members". It’s different from US copy. “Apple” medal is attached to the upper portion of front obi, which is pretty popular in the market. The disc is not red but ordinary black. The price on obi is JPY2000, but JPY2200 on the cover. It's very hard to find this item in complete shape even in our country. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: VG+/NM ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition. It’s lightly tanned along the spine-edge and top-rims of outside, while being clean inside gate-fold. Otherwise it has no tear, edge-wear, ring-wear, strip, dent, stain & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is nearly TOP in condition, keeping glossy. There are a few spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scuff, scratch & hairline, which can be rated as "NM". No flaw on the groove…very clean disc, we guarantee you.

OBI: G+, being lightly scraped and stained with minor brown spot on the surface of each side. It’s partly creased with a short tear in the middle of right-rim of front side, The left-rim of “apple” is creased as usual with this type of obi. A supply-tag is still in the top of back.

INSERT: VG+, being slightly rippled and scraped on the surface of each side.

INNER-BAG: VG, being rippled with ring-crease on each side.
