Beatles / Help !
Japan Orig. LP


Odeon OP - 7387

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

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1965 ) of their original album, comin' with rare appendices. The disc is rare red-wax, issued only for Japanese early pressing. The gate-fold cover shows “Japanese description” & “Photos of members”. The enclosed pin-up was issued in limited number for its 1st press. It’s very hard to find this item in complete shape even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: G/EX- ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is partly worn on the corners, right-edge & lightly other outer-edge. It’s partly scraped in the left bottom hand of front, while being stained with brown spots inside gate-fold ( See photos ). Handwritings are in the track-list inside gate-fold. Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, dent, strip...OK.

DISC: Disc is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. It has several slight scuffs with a few slight scratches on each side ( inaudible ). There’re a few to several spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any serious flaw ( such as deep scratch ), which is to be rated as “EX-”.

OBI: OBI is missing.

INSERT: G, being lightly tanned and rippled with brown spots in places on the surface of each side.

INNER-BAG: FAIR, being creased on the surface of each side. It’s split in the middle of bottom-edge and upper left-edge. The bottom-rims of each side are stained with brown tape-stain marks.

PIN-UP: PIN-UP is missing.
