Beatles / VI
Japan Early Press LP


Apple AP – 80035

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

Description: This is scarce Japanese Early Press copy ( released in the mid 1970’s ) of their US compilation album, coming with complete appendices. This album was issued with gate-fold cover in Japan, showing inside "Japanese description" & “Photos of members". It’s different from US copy. “Apple” medal is attached to the upper portion of front obi, which is pretty popular in the market. The disc is not red but ordinary black. The price on obi & cover is JPY2000. It's very hard to find this item in complete shape even in my country. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


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


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for partly worn corners, bottom & lightly other outer-edges. It’s lightly stained on the top-rims of front & back, and right-rim of front. Light ring-wear is inside gate-fold. Otherwise it has no tear, strip, dent & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is nearly TOP in condition, keeping glossy. A short slight scuff is on Side A-2. There are a few spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scratch & hairline, which is to be rated as "above". No flaw on the groove of Side B and mostly on Side A…clean disc, we guarantee you.

OBI: G+, being creased on the left-rim of “apple”, with its bottom-rim partly torn ( See photo ). It’s lightly stained on the surface of back and top-rim of front. The supply-tag in the top of back is stripped off and missing.

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

INNER-BAG: G, being lightly rippled with ring-crease on each side. The middle of bottom-edge is torn. Each corner is creased.
