Beatles / Second Album ( US version )
Japan Orig. LP


Apple AP - 80012

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

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in early 1970’s ) of their 2nd album ( in US ), coming with complete appendices. The gate-fold cover shows inside “Japanese description” & “Photos of members”. It’s different from US copy. The disc is beautiful red wax, issued in limited number for its 1st press. The price on the back-cover is with a new price red sticker of JPY2200, while a blue sticker is on the top-rim of front obi. It's hard to find this item in complete shape even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: EX/VG ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is excellent in condition, except for lightly worn corners & outer-edges. It’s lightly scraped on the surface of inside the gate-fold, while being clean outside. Otherwise it has none of any tear, ring-wear, dent, strip, stain & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is good in condition, keeping glossy. It has some slight scuffs on each side, with a few light hairlines on Side A. There’re some spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any hairline, which is to be rated as “VG".
