( INSERT is not originally issued )

Description: This is Apple edition 1st Press copy ( released in 1969 ) of Japanese album "With the Beatles" ( originally issued to commemorate their 1966 Japan tour ). The disc is beautiful red wax, issued only for its 1st press. Insert is not originally issued for this item. Instead a booklet is attached inside gate-fold cover to show "Japanese description", "English & Japanese lyrics" & "Colorful photos of their stage". It’s very hard to find this album with obi & red wax even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.

Side A: All my loving, Please Mr. postman, Don’t bother me, It won’t be long, All I’ve got to do, Little child, Till there was you

Side B: Roll over Beethoven, Money, I wanna be your man, Hold me tight, Devil in her heart, Not a second time, You’ve really got a hold on me


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


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for lightly worn corners & outer-edges. Short creases are around the rims of front & back. The booklet inside gate-fold is slightly creased with minor spots on the front page. There’s light ring-wear with minor scratches in part on the back, as usual with this album. Otherwise it has no tear, dent, strip & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is nearly TOP in condition, keeping glossy. It has several slight scuffs on the on each “inner-groove” ( not music surface ). There’re several spindle-marks with minor spots on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scratch & hairline, which is to be rated as "above". No flaw on the “music surface” of each side….very clean disc, we guarantee you.

OBI: G, being lightly creased on the surface of each side, while being partly torn in the top & bottom edges and upper left-rim of front. A supply-tag is still in the top of back.

INSERT: Insert is not originally issued for this item. Instead a booklet is attached inside gate-fold cover.

INNER-BAG: G+, being creased with ring-crease on its surface of each side.
