Beatles / Second Album
Japan Orig. LP


Apple AP - 80012

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

Description: This is scarce Japanese Early Press copy ( released in 1970 ) of their US 2nd album, coming with complete appendices. Inside gate-fold cover, it is with “Japanese liner notes” & “Photos of members”. It’s different from US copy. The disc is not red but black. Price on the back cover is JPY2000, though obi is JPY2200. It's hard to find this item in complete shape even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: EX/NM ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is excellent in condition, except for lightly worn corners & spine-edge. It’s slightly tanned along the spine-rims, while being clean inside gate-fold. A few tiny dents are on the bottom-edge. Otherwise it has none of any tear, ring-wear, strip, 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: VG, being lightly scraped and stained on the surface of each side ( mainly back side ).

INSERT: VG, being lightly tanned on the surface of each side, while being lightly scraped on the top & bottom-rims of each side.

INNER SLEEVE: VG+, being moderately rippled in corners. Light ring-crease is on the surface of each side. Otherwise no tear or split on outer edges.
