Beatles / A Hard Day’s Night
Japan Apple Edition 1st Press LP


Apple AP - 8147

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

Description: This is scarce Japanese Apple Edition 1st Press copy ( released in late 1960’s ) of their ost album ( in Japan ), comin' with very rare red-wax disc. The disc is rare red-wax, issued only for its early press. The cover is flipped back on its top & bottom-rims, showing “Japanese description” on the back. It’s different from UK copy. 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: EX-/EX- ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is excellent in condition, except for short creases on the spine-rims. It’s slightly discolored with slight ring-wear on the surface of front & back. The right bottom corner is creased a little. Otherwise it has no tear, strip, dent, stain & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. It has slight mark of “record cleaner residue” ? on each side ( See photos…of course, it does not affect the sound ). There’re a few spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scuff, scratch & hairline ( such as deep scratch ), which is to be rated as "EX-”. Without the record cleaner marks, it should be “NM” enough. It plays fine on each track.

OBI: OBI is missing.

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

INNER-BAG: VG+, being lightly creased in corners.
