Japan Early Press LP


Apple AP - 80033

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

Description: This is scarce Japanese Early Press copy ( released in 1970 ) of their US album, coming with complete appendices. Gate-fold cover shows inside “Japanese liner notes” & “Photo of members”, different from any UK copy. Disc is not red but ordinary black. Price of cover is JPY2000, while a new price pink sticker of JPY2200 is on the top-rim of front obi. It’s hard to find this item in complete shape even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.
