Beatles / Second Album
Japan Early Press LP


Apple AP - 80012

Appendices: "Medal OBI", “G/F Cover”, “Inner-Bag” & "Insert"

Description: This is scarce Japanese Early Press copy ( released in early 1970’s ) of their 2nd album ( in US ), coming with complete appendices. The gate-fold cover shows inside “Japanese description” & “Photos of members”. It’s different from US copy. The disc is not red but black. The price on the back-cover & obi is JPY2000. It's hard to find this item in complete shape even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.
