Beatles / Help !
Japan Early Press LP


Odeon OP - 8151

Appendices: “G/F Different Cover” & “Red Wax"
( OBI, INNER-BAG & INSERT are missing )

Description: This is scarce Japanese early press copy ( released in 1967 ) of their original album, comin' with rare red wax. The disc is rare red wax, issued only for Japanese early pressing. The gate fold cover shows inside “Japanese liner notes” & “Photos of members”. Not only inside but also back cover is also different from UK copy. The pin-up is not originally issued for this edition. Though obi, insert & inner-bag are missing, it’s still hard to find this item with red wax even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: G+/VG ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is partly worn on the corners & outer-edge. It’s scraped on the surface of outside, while being lightly stained around the rims inside gate-fold. Small handwriting is in the left top rim of front & back. Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, dent, strip...OK.

DISC: Disc is good in condition, keeping glossy. It has slight scuffs including slight hairlines & scratches in places on each side. There’re some spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any serious flaw ( such as deep scratch ), which is to be rated as “VG”.

OBI: OBI is missing.

INSERT: INSERT is missing.

INNER-BAG: INNER-BAG is missing.
