( INSERT is not originally issued )

Description: This is Apple edition copy ( released in early 1970’s ) of Japanese album "With the Beatles" ( originally issued to commemorate their 1966 Japan tour ). 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". The price on obi and cover is JPY2000. The disc is not red but ordinary black. It’s hard to find this album with red obi 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/VG+ ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for partly worn corners, right-edge & slightly other outer-edges. It’s creased on the left-rim of back and right bottom corner. There’s ring-wear on the back with a light scratch on its right bottom-rim. It’s clean on the front & inside gate-fold. Otherwise it has no tear, dent, strip, stain & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is good in condition, keeping glossy. Slight tiny scuffs marks like dots in part on Side A-1, which seem “misprint”. It has a few slight scratches on Side A with a slight hairline on Side B ( inaudible each ). There’re a few 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 fine on each side.

OBI: G+, being lightly stained on the surface of back. The top-edge is partly split. A supply-tag is 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: VG, being lightly creased with light ring-crease on its surface of each side.
