Beatles / Something New
Japan Early Press LP


Apple AP - 80033

Appendices: “Original Medal OBI”, “G/F DIF Cover", “Inner-Bag” & “Insert”

Description: This is scarce Japanese Early Press copy ( released in early 1970’s ) of their US album, coming with complete appendices. The gate-fold cover shows inside “Japanese description” & “Photo of members”, different from any UK copy. The disc is not red but ordinary black. The price of cover is JPY2200 and a new price sticker strip-residue is on the top rim of front obi. It’s hard to find this item in complete shape 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 partly worn corners & outer-edges. It’s lightly scraped with slight ring-wear on the surface of front & inside gate-fold. The back cover is lightly tanned on its top-rim. Otherwise it has no tear, dent, strip, stain & writing…OK.

DISC: Disc is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. It has a few slight scuffs on each side, with a few slight hairlines on Side A. There are a few spindle-marks with minor spots on the label of Side B. Otherwise it has none of any scratch, which is to be rated as "EX-".

OBI: VG, being partly creased & torn in the “apple” portion, top & bottom-edges. It’s stained in upper portion of back and bottom-rim of front. The supply-tag in the top of back is stripped off.

INSERT: VG, being lightly tanned on the surface of each side.

INNER-BAG: VG+, being lightly creased on the surface of each side.
