Beatles / A Hard Day’s Night
Japan Orig. LP


Odeon OP - 7123

Appendices: "F/B Different Cover”, "Insert" & “Red Wax”
( OBI & INNER SLEEVE are missing )

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1964 ) of their OST album, coming with rare red wax. The back cover shows “Japanese liner notes” on the back, and the front-cover is also different from UK copy. The disc is rare red wax, issued only for its early press. “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 JPY1800. 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/VG ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for lightly worn corner & right-edge. It’s lightly rippled and tanned with light ring crease on the surface of each side. Minor creases are along the side rims of each side. Otherwise it has none of any tear, dent, strip, stain & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is good in condition, keeping glossy. It has slight scuffs including slight hairline in places on each side. There’re some spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scratch, which is to be rated as “VG". All flaws are so slight that it plays fine on each side. You can enjoy high quality sound of Japanese red wax.

OBI: OBI is missing.

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

INNER SLEEVE: Missing.
