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