3. Beatles / Second Album ( US version )
Japan Orig. LP


Apple AP - 80012

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

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1970 ) of their 2nd album ( in US ), coming with complete appendices. The gate-fold cover shows inside “Japanese description” & “Photos of members”. It’s different from US copy. The disc is beautiful red wax, issued in limited number for its 1st press. The price on the back-cover & the top-rim of front obi is JPY2000. 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 & outer-edges. It’s lightly tanned along the spine-edge. Inside gate-fold, it’s with several minor scrape-marks. Otherwise it has none of any tear, ring-wear, dent, strip, stain & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is nearly TOP in condition, keeping glossy. There are a few spindle-marks on the label of Side A. 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: G+, being stained with spots on the top-rims of each side. Left top-edge is torn short. A supply-tag is still in the top of back.

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

INNER SLEEVE: VG, being creased in corners of each side.
