Apple AP - 8815

Appendices: "Original Medallion-OBI", "Inner-Bag" & "Insert"

Description: This is scarce Japanese Early Press copy ( released in early 1970’s ) of their masterpiece album, comin' with complete appendices. The disc is not red but ordinary black. It's hard to find this item in any condition even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: EX/VG+ ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is excellent in condition, except for lightly worn corners & outer-edges. It’s slightly stained in lower spine-edge and top-rim of front, while being clean on the back and totally front. Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, strip, dent & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is good in condition, keeping glossy. It has a few slight scuffs on each side, with a short scratch on Side A-5~6 ( inaudible ). There’re several spindle-marks with minor brown spots on each label. Otherwise it has none of any hairline, which is to be rated as "VG+”. Flaws are not many but just a few on each side. And it plays fine on each side.

OBI: G+, being lightly stained with brown spots on the surface of each side ( mainly back side ). The left-rim of “apple” is curled. The supply-tag is still in the top of back.

INSERT: G+, being lightly browned with brown spots on the surface of each side.

INNER-BAG: G+, being creased in places with ring-crease on its surface of each side.
