Description: This is scarce Japanese Apple Edition 1st press ( released in early 1970’s ) of their original album, coming with complete appendices. The disc is beautiful red-wax, issued only for its 1st press. 24 page booklet is attached inside gate-fold. A brown small insert shows the track-list. It’s hard to find this item in complete shape even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: G+/VG ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is lightly worn on the corners & right-edge. It’s stained with brown spots inside gate-fold ( See photos ), while being lightly scraped & scratched on the surface of front & back. Otherwise it has no tear, dent, strip & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is good in condition, keeping glossy. It has slight scuffs including slight scratches in places on each side. A conspicuous scratch ( not deep and inaudible ) is on each side. There are several spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any serious flaw ( such as deep scratch ), which is to be rated as "VG". It plays strong on each track.
