Black Odeon label with
silver print. The words "LONG PLAYING" was printed at the bottom of the label. Toshiba released the first Japanese record featuring the Beatles. When this record was released, Toshiba's official name was "Toshiba Musical Industries Ltd." and they used the Odeon label for this and subsequent Beatles releases. The Japanese version looks similar to the U.K. version but has a different title design in red on front cover. Japanese original title "Beatles '65" was printed on the obi and the inside of the cover. Gatefold cover to remove the disk from the right side of the back cover. At the time of this LP release, a campaign was held in which "The Beatles menber's portrait" won. A campaign application postcard was attached to the first edition (part of?). Red vinyl: Besides good sound and quality printing, Japanese records also offered some other things of interest to the collector. One of the primary manufacturing companies in Japan, Toshiba, pressed a lot of their records on red, “Everclean” vinyl from 1958 through 1974 (maybe). While not pressed as collectors’ items, these red vinyl pressings are more sought out by collectors than their black vinyl counterparts. The Everclean vinyl was designed to be less prone to collecting static electricity and dust than the more common black vinyl. The obi: "Dark Green" Obi with the half circle on top It is dark green / white in design with dark green background with the half circle on top. It also features an Odeon logo, catalogue number and price information. While most Japanese records feature local music, a lot of music fans there like foreign music, as well. The language barrier in Japan presented a problem – should foreign album covers be changed for Japanese albums? The solution was the obi, which means “belt” or “sash”. The obi is a strip of paper, usually about two inches wide, that wraps vertically around the album cover, containing information about the artist and album in Japanese. As these strips of paper were fragile and easily torn, they are often missing, especially since consumers in the 1950s and 1960s attached little significance to them. Finding Japanese records made prior to 1970 that still have the obi intact can be quite difficult, and for some albums, nearly impossible. The inclusion of the obi can dramatically affect the price of some Japanese records, sometimes increasing the price by a factor of ten. While usually found in a wraparound strip, there are other versions of the obi that have occasionally been used. In the early 1960s, a short-lived hankake obi, or “half obi” was used. These were small strips of paper that simply folded over the top of the cover. These were problematic for retailers, as they tended to easily fall off of the record. |

Black Odeon label with
silver print. The words "LONG PLAYING" was printed at the bottom of the label. Rare Black vinyl disc. Most if not all of the red vinyl OR and OP Odeon LPs were manufactured with an ingredient intended to prevent the buildup of static electricity on the disks. TOSHIBA's trademark for records manufactured with this ingredient is "Ever Clean", and special efforts were made to promote this feature. Sometimes Toshiba had problems to press enough records to keep up with the demand. To increase production they turned to other companies (Gramophone, Sony etc.) to press up some copies of a particular release, however, the majority of copies were pressed by Toshiba themselves. The black vinyl of "Beatles For Sale (OP-7179)" is the oldest Beatles LP in Japan. The Japanese version looks similar to the U.K. version but has a different title design in red on front cover.
