Black Odeon label with
silver print. The words "LONG PLAYING" was printed at the bottom of the label. Gatefold cover. (The bookbinding tape is bonded to a part of the inside cover.) This LP contains a color poster taken at the time of Bahamas' location. It is probably thought that it was attached to the first press. At the time of this LP release, a campaign was held in which "plastic model Beatles doll directly imported from the U.S." (4 people 1 pair) won. A campaign application postcard was attached to the first edition (part of?). There were 500 winners and the deadline was 20th. Dec. 1965. 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. 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: "Light blue" Obi It is light blue / white in design with light blue 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. |

Black Odeon label with
silver print. The words "LONG PLAYING" was erased at the bottom of the label. Gatefold cover. (Without the bookbinding tape on the inside cover.) With the reduction of the excise tax, the price of LP fell to 1,750 yen since August 1966. This LP also corresponded to the price drop, so Toshiba revised the price of OBIs and covers. 2nd. pressing had a light blue / white OBI and price changed ¥1,750 on obi strip. The word "STEREO (Japanese)", Odeon logo mark and catalog number "OP-7387" were printed on the front. "H ¥1,750", and "Toshiba Musical Industries Ltd." were printed at the bottom of the back cover.
