AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A highly collectible Japanese promotional pressing of Beatles For Sale, issued by Apple Records in 1976 as part of the celebrated Country Flag Series. The Japanese EAS Beatles reissue series began in June 1976 and continued into the early 1980s, earning its distinctive name from the unusually wide obi, which features the flag of the country in which the album was originally released. This copy represents the fourth album in the series and is identifiable by its EAS-prefix catalogue number (EAS-80553), the series number printed on both the Apple logo and at an angle near the bottom of the obi, and the wide Country Flag obi itself, which displays the original ¥2,500 retail price. This is the more desirable promotional edition, housed in the original gatefold sleeve and complete with its original Country Flag obi and insert—a particularly attractive combination for serious collectors of Japanese Beatles pressings.
⸻
Gatefold Sleeve / Obi (VG+):
The gatefold sleeve is very solid overall with only light corner wear. Some staining is visible, particularly on the obi, but both the sleeve and obi remain structurally strong and present very nicely → VG+
Insert (included):
Original insert included.
Vinyl (NM):
The vinyl looks virtually unplayed and is in fantastic condition. Beautiful clean surfaces with excellent gloss and no significant signs of previous use → NM
