Beatles / A Hard Day’s Night
Japan Early Press LP


Odeon OP - 8147

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

Description: This is scarce Japanese Early Press copy ( released in 1966 ) of their ost album ( in Japan ), comin' with very rare red-wax. The disc is a beautiful red-wax, issued only for its early press. The cover is flipped back on its top & bottom-rims, showing “Japanese liner notes” on the back. It’s different from UK copy. 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: G+/G ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is partly worn on the corners, bottom & right-edge. It’s lightly rippled and tanned with ring-crease on the surface of each side. The right-rim of front is creased. Water-damage stain-mark is on lower left-rim of back side. Otherwise it has no tear, strip, dent & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc has slight scuffs including slight hairlines here and there on each side. There’re many spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scratch, which is to be rated as "G”. All flaws are so slight that it plays fine on each side. You can enjoy high quality Japanese red wax sound even in this condition.

OBI: OBI is missing.

INSERT: G, being lightly rippled and tanned with brown stain-marks on the surface of each side.

INNER-BAG: G, being aged, creased and stained on its surface of each side. The top-flap is wrinkled and the middle of bottom-edge is split.
