Odeon OP - 7179

Appendices: “G/F Cover", "Company Inner Bag", “Insert” & "Red Wax"
( OBI is Missing )

Description: This is scarce Japanese Early Press copy ( released in 1965 ) of their original album, comin' with rare appendices. Disc is beautiful red wax, issued only for Japanese early press. Cover is gate-fold, showing “Japanese liner notes” & “Photos of members”, different from UK copy. Price on the cover and obi is JPY1800. Though obi is missing, it’s still hard to find this item even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: G+/VG ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is partly worn on corners & outer edges. It’s lightly scraped with creases in places and light ring-wear on the surface of outside. Inside gate-fold, it’s tanned on the left with 3 browned spots on the right bottom-rim. Otherwise it has no tear, dent, strip & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is good in condition, keeping glossy. It has some slight scuffs on each side with a short scratch on Side A-2 ( inaudible…See photo ). There are spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any serious flaw ( such as deep scratch ), which is to be rated as “VG”.

OBI: Missing.

INSERT: FAIR, being creased and stained for aging with brown spots & handwritings on its surfaces of each side.

COMPANY INNER BAG: Poor, being creased and stained on the surface of each side, while being partly torn along both of side-edges and partly top-flap.
