Description: This is Apple edition copy ( released in the mid 1970’s ) of Japan only-album "Please Please Me" ( originally issued to commemorate their 1966 Japan tour ). Insert is not originally issued for this item. Instead the 8 page colorful booklet is attached inside gate-fold cover to show "Japanese description", "English & Japanese lyrics" & "Colorful photos of their stage". It’s hard to find this copy even in my country. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.

COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for lightly worn corners & outer-edges. It’s lightly scraped with light ring-wear on the surface of front & back. The booklet inside gate-fold is lightly creased and stained on its surfaces. Otherwise it has no tear, dent, strip & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. It has several slights scuffs on Side B, with a light scratch & hairline on Side A ( inaudible each ). There are a few spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any serious flaw ( such as deep scratch ), which is to be rated as “EX-".
