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

Description: This is scarce Japanese Apple Edition 1st Press copy ( released in early 1970’s ) of their original album, coming with complete appendices. The disc is rare red wax, issued for its 1st press. The price on the cover & back side of obi is JPY2000, while a new price sticker in gold “JPY2200” is on the bottom-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.
