Beatles / A Hard Day’s Night
Japan Apple Edition Early Press LP


Apple AP - 8147

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

Description: This is scarce Japanese copy ( released in early 1970’s ) of their OST album ( in Japan ), comin' with complete appendices. The cover is different from UK press. It’s flipped back on its top & bottom-rims, showing “Japanese description” with “photos of members”. The disc is not red but black. The price on the 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 collectors.


Condition: VG/NM- ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for lightly worn corners & right-edge. It’s lightly creased with light ring-wear on the front & back. Short creases are on the spine-rims. Otherwise it has no tear, strip, dent, stain & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is nearly TOP in condition, keeping glossy. There are a few spindle-marks on each label. Minor scuff marks are on the “inner-groove”, which has no relation with the sound. Otherwise it has none of any scuff, scratch & hairline, which can be rated as "NM". No flaw on the “outer-groove”…very clean disc, we guarantee you.

INSERT: VG, being lightly discolored and creased on the surface of each side.

INNER-BAG: VG, being lightly creased in corners of each side. Light ring-crease is also on each side.
