( INSERT is not included )

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. It’s hard to find this item with red wax even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: VG/VG+ ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for slight ring-wear on the back. Inside gate-fold, minor brown spots are on its upper portion. Otherwise it has no tear, edge-wear, strip, dent & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc looks nearly TOP in condition, keeping glossy. It has a tiny scratch on Side A-7, which makes minor clicks. A few tiny spots are on each side. There are several spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scuff & hairline, which is to be rated as "VG+". Mostly no flaw on each side. Except a tiny scratch on Side A-7, it can be “NM” enough.

OBI: VG, being lightly stained on the surface of back, while being creased along the middle of right-rim of front.

INSERT: INSERT is not included in this item. But it’s not sure if it was originally issued for this item.

INNER-BAG: VG+, being lightly rippled with ring-crease on its surface of each side.
