Beatles / No.5
Japan Orig. LP


Odeon OR - 7103

Appendices: "Inner-Bag", “Insert”, “Pin-Up” & “Red Wax”
( OBI is missing )

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1960’s ) of their 5th album ( in Japan ). The disc is rare odeon red-wax, issued only for Japanese early pressing. What’s interesting is the enclosed “colorful pin-up”. When this copy surfaced in the market, the pin-up was included in this copy. We sell it as it is. Anyway, 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.


Condition: VG/G ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for partly worn corners, right-edge & slightly other outer-edges. It’s lightly creased around the rims of each side. Ring-wear is on the surface of each side. Otherwise it has no tear, strip, dent, stain & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc has light scuffs including slight scratch & hairlines here and there on each side. There are some spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any serious flaw ( such as deep scratch ), which is to be rated as "G". All flaws are so light that it plays strong on each side.

OBI: OBI is missing.

INSERT: VG, being lightly creased & aged with minor stain-marks on the surface of each page.

INNER-BAG: G+, being creased around the rims with ring-crease on its surface of each side. Light brown spots are around the rims of each side. A short tear is in the middle of left-rim.

PIN-UP: G+, being still unused without pin-hole at corners. It’s creased in the left top corner, while being stained on the blank side.
