Beatles / Rubber Soul
Japan Orig. LP


Odeon OP - 7450

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

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1966 ) of their original album, coming with complete appendices. The disc is rare odeon red wax, issued only for Japanese early pressing. The cover is glossy on its surfaces with the top & bottom rims flipped back. A price sticker of JPY1750 is on the bottom-rim of front obi, though the price on the back cover is JPY1800. It’s very hard to find this item in complete shape even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: VG/EX- ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for partly worn corners, right-edge, the middle of bottom & slightly top-edge. It’s lightly tanned on the surface of back, with light ring-wear on the front & back. Minor creases are around the rims of each side. A few stain-marks are on the right-rim of back. Otherwise it has no tear, strip, dent & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. It has a few slight scuffs on each side. Light stain-marks by record cleaner (?) are on the surface of each side, which doesn’t affect the sound.
