Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1965 ) of their original album, comin' with complete appendices. The disc is rare red wax, issued only for Japanese early pressing. The cover is gate-fold, showing “Japanese description” & “Photos of members”, different from UK copy. The price on the cover is JPY1800.
