Appendices: "Arrow OBI”, “F/B Cover”, “Inner-Bag", “Insert” & “Red Wax”

Description: This is scarce Japanese Apple Edition 1st Press copy ( released in late 1960’s ) of their original album, coming with complete appendices. The disc is beautiful red-wax, issued only for Japanese early pressing. It’s hard to find this item in complete shape even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.
