Description: This is scarce Japanese Apple Edition 1st Pressing copy ( released in early 1970 ) of their masterpiece album, comin' with very rare red wax. The disc is beautiful Apple red wax, issued only for Japanese Apple edition 1st pressing. The insert is not included in this item. But it’s not sure if it was originally issued for this item. It’s hard to find this item with red wax even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: VG/EX- ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for lightly worn right-edge. It’s lightly scraped & creased with light ring-wear on the surface of back. It’s clean on the front & inside gate-fold. Otherwise it has no tear, strip, dent, stain & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. It has several slight scuffs on Side B with a tiny scratch at the start of Side A-1 ( lightly clicks several times ).
