Beatles / Help !
Japan Apple Edition 1st Press LP


Apple AP - 8151

Appendices: “G/F Cover”, “Inner-Bag", "Insert" & “Red Wax”
( OBI is missing )

Description: This is scarce Japanese Apple Edition 1st Press copy ( released in 1970 ) of their original album, comin' with rare appendices. The disc is rare Apple red-wax, issued only for Japanese early pressing. The price on the back-cover is JPY2000. Though obi is 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: VG/EX+ ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for partly worn corners, right-edge & lightly other outer edges. It’s lightly stained with partial ring-wear inside gate-fold. On the front, it’s lightly tanned along the left-rim of front, with minor stain-marks along its right-rim. A few minor scrapes are on the 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. A tiny minor scratch is in mute groove between Side B-1 and B-2. There are several spindle-marks on each side. Otherwise it has none of any hairline, which is to be rated as "EX+". Beautiful condition for Beatles’ red wax, we guarantee you.

OBI: OBI is missing.

INSERT: G, being tanned and stained with brown spots on the surface of each side.

INNER-BAG: VG, being rippled with ring-crease on each side.
