Beatles / Please Please Me
Japan Tour Only Orig. LP


Odeon OP - 7548

Appendices: "G/F Cover" & “Odeon Red Wax”
( OBI, BOOKLET & INNER-BAG are missing / INSERT is not originally issued )

Description: This is rare original Odeon copy ( released in 1966 ) of Beatles’ “Please Please Me” to commemorate their Japan Tour. The cover is different from UK copy, while the disc is odeon red-wax, issued only for its 1st press. Insert is not originally issued for this item. Instead a booklet was originally attached inside gate-fold cover, but half of the pages are gone ( missing ). Though obi & inner-bag are missing, it’s still hard to find this copy with red-wax in any condition even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.

Side A: Please please me, Anna, I saw her standing there, Boys, Misery, Chains, Ask me why

Side B: Twist and shout, A taste of honey, Love me do, Do you want to know a secret, Baby it’s you, There’s a place, PS I love you


Condition: FAIR/FAIR ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is worn on the corners & outer-edges. It’s scraped with ring-wear on the surface of each side ( mainly back-side ). The last half of the booklet inside gate-fold is missing, leaving strip-mark along the center-fold. The remaining pages are stained and scraped with ring-wear on its surfaces. Otherwise it has no dent & writing…OK.

DISC: Disc is full of scuffs, scratches & hairlines on each side. There’re many spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any serious flaw ( such as deep scratch ), which is to be rated as "FAIR”. It plays strong on each track.

OBI: OBI is missing.

INSERT: INSERT is not originally issued for this item.

INNER-BAG: INNER-BAG is missing.
