Description: This is scarce Japanese Apple Edition 1st Pressing copy ( released in early 1970 ) of their masterpiece album, comin' with very rare red wax. The disc is beautiful Apple red wax, issued only for Japanese Apple edition 1st pressing. The insert is not included in this item. But it’s not sure if it was originally issued for this item. The price on obi & cover is JPY2000. It’s hard to find this item with red wax even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: VG+/NM- ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for slight ring-wear and creases on the back. It’s slightly stained on the top-rim inside gate-fold, while being clean on the front & back. Otherwise it has no tear, edge-wear, strip, dent & writing...OK.

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