Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1960's ) of their masterpiece double-album. Both discs are rare red waxes, issued only for its 1st pressing ( no odeon copy exists for Japanese copy ). "The Beatles" logo is embossed in lower portion of front-cover. Though obi, insert & 3 pin-ups ( all but John ) are missing, it’s still hard to find this item with red wax even in my country. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: G/G/G ( Cover / Disc 1/2 )


COVER: Cover is partly worn on the corners & outer-edges. It’s browned with brown spots on the surface of each side. Ring-wear is on the front & back. Otherwise it has no tear, dent, strip & writing...OK.
