Description: This is scarce Japanese Apple Edition 1st Pressing copy ( released in early 1970 ) of their masterpiece album, comin' with rare original obi. The disc is not red but ordinary black. 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 obi even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.

COVER: Cover is excellent in condition. It’s with a few minor rippled and slight ring-wear on the back. A slight scratch is on the front & back. It’s clean on each side. Otherwise it has no tear, edge-wear, strip, dent, stain & writing...OK.
