Apple AP - 8156

Appendices: "F/B Cover”, “Fold-Out Insert”, “Inner Sleeve” & “Red Wax”
( OBI is Missing )

Description: This is scarce Japanese Apple Edition 1st Press copy ( released in 1970 ) of their original album, coming with rare appendices. Disc is beautiful red wax, issued only for Japanese early press. An enclosed fold-out insert is with “Japanese liner notes” and “English & Japanese lyrics”. 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+/NM ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for lightly worn right-edge. It’s lightly creased in the right-rim of front, while being lightly tanned along the top & bottom rims of back side. Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, strip, dent, stain & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is nearly TOP in condition, keeping glossy. There are a few spindle-marks on the label of Side B. Otherwise it has none of any scuff, scratch & hairline, which can be rated as "NM". No flaw on the groove…very clean disc, we guarantee you.

OBI: Missing

INSERT: VG, being slightly tanned with some minor spots on the surface of each page.

INNER SLEEVE: G+, being lightly creased in corners with ring-crease on each side. The middle of left-edge is partly split.
