2. Beatles / Second Album
Japan Early Press 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 2nd album ( in US ), coming with complete appendices. The gate-fold cover shows inside “Japanese liner notes” & “Photos of members”. It’s different from US copy. The disc is not red but black. The price on the back cover & 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: VG/EX- ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for lightly worn corners & outer-edges. It’s lightly tanned on the surface of front & along the top-rim of back side. Inside gate-fold, it’s lightly scraped on its surfaces. Otherwise it has none of any tear, ring-wear, dent, strip & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. It has some slight scuffs on each side with a short light scratch on Side A-6 & B-1 ( inaudible each ). There’re several spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any hairline, which is to be rated as “EX-".

OBI: G, being torn in the bottom-edge of “Apple”. The left-rim of “Apple” is creased, as usual with the apple obi. It’s lightly scraped and tanned on the surface of back side.

INSERT: VG, being lightly tanned on the surface of each side.

INNER SLEEVE: VG, being rippled with light ring-crease on the surface of each side.
