Beatles / Rubber Soul

Apple AP - 8156

Appendices: "F/B Cover”, “Inner-Bag", “Insert” & “Red Wax”
( OBI is missing )

Description: This is scarce Japanese Apple Edition 1st Press copy ( released in late 1960’s ) of their original album, coming with rare appendices. The disc is marvelous red-wax, issued only for Japanese early pressing. Though obi is missing, it’s still hard to find this item with red-wax even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: G/VG ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is scraped & creased in places with ring-wear & light stain-marks on the surface of each side. Outer-edges are worn, with short creases around the rims of each side. Otherwise it has no tear, strip, dent & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is good in condition, keeping glossy. It has slight scuffs including slight scratches in places on each side ( inaudible ). There’re some to many spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any serious flaw ( such as deep scratch ), which is to be rated as "VG". All flaws are so slight that it plays strong on each track.

OBI: OBI is missing.

INSERT: G+, being lightly browned & stained with brown spots on the surface of each page.

INNER-BAG: G+, being creased with ring-crease on the surface of each side.
