Appendices: "F/B Different Cover”, "Insert", “Company Sleeve” & “Red Wax”
( OBI is Missing )

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1964 ) of their OST album, coming with rare red wax. Back cover is with “Japanese liner notes” on the back, and the front cover’s artwork is also different from UK copy. 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 that it’s very 1st press. 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.
