Appendices: "F/B Thin Cover", “Insert” & “Red Wax”

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1964 ) of their 1st album ( in Japan ). The disc is rare odeon red wax, issued only for Japanese early pressing. “LONG PLAYING” text is on the bottom-rim of each label of disc ( See photo ), which proves it’s very 1st press. The price on the back cover is JPY1500. Though obi & inner sleeve 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/G ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is partly worn corners, right-edge & lightly other outer edges. It’s lightly scraped with ring-wear on the surface of each side, while being tanned on that of back side. Minor creases are around the rims of each side. Otherwise it has no tear, strip, dent, stain & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc has slight scuffs including slight scratches & hairlines here and there on each side. There are many spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any serious flaw ( such as deep scratch ), which is to be rated as "G". All flaws are so slight that it plays strong on each side.
