Appendices: "Original OBI”, “G/F Cover w/ Booklet ( inlayed inside )", “Inner Bag” & “Red Wax”
( COMPLETE SHAPE / INSERT is not originally issued )

Description: This is scarce Japan TOUR Edition original copy ( released in 1966 ) of "With the Beatles". This album was originally issued in 1966 to commemorate their Japan tour. Insert is not originally issued for this item. Instead a booklet is originally inlayed inside gate-fold cover showing "Japanese liner notes", "English lyrics" & "Colorful photos of members". The disc is beautiful Odeon Red Wax, which rarely appears in the market in any condition. It’s very hard to find this copy in complete shape even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.

Side A: All my loving, Please Mr. postman, Don't bother me, It won't be long, All I've got to do, Little child, Till there was you

Side B: Roll over Beethoven, Money, I wanna be your man, Hold me tight, Devil in her heart, Not a second time, You've really got a fold on me


Condition: VG/VG ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for partly worn corners, top, right-edge & lightly other outer edges. It’s lightly rippled with light ring-wear on the surface of back. Inside gate-fold, originally inlayed booklet is lightly aged and stained with ring-wear in part on its surfaces. Otherwise it has no tear, dent, strip & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is good in condition, keeping glossy. It has slight scuffs in places with a few light scratches on each side. One of scratch on the last track of Side B ( See the photo ) makes a few minor ticks. There’re spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any serious flaw ( such as deep scratch ), which is to be rated as "VG”.

OBI: G, being creased on the surface of each side. The top & bottom edges are split.

INSERT: INSERT is NOT originally issued for this item. Instead, a booklet is originally inlayed inside gate-fold cover.

INNER BAG: FAIR, being lightly tanned, and creased with ring crease on the surface of each side. It’s partly split with brown tape-stain along the middle of each side and top-rims.
