John Lennon – Wedding Album (Japan) COMPLETE Box Set, with obi, poster and inserts, in Near Mint vinyl and VG+ box, released in Japan in 1977 by Odeon (EAS-80702).
Description from the seller
A beautiful and highly collectible Japanese edition of John Lennon & Yoko Ono's experimental Wedding Album, issued by Odeon in 1977 under catalogue number EAS-80702. Originally conceived as an elaborate multimedia document of John and Yoko's wedding and honeymoon period, Wedding Album stands as one of the most distinctive releases in the Lennon/Ono catalogue. This Japanese box-set edition retains the extraordinary original presentation and is offered here fully complete with the obi and all accompanying inserts—a rare find in such comprehensive condition.
The album captures remarkable moments from the couple's artistic and personal journey. "Amsterdam" was recorded during John and Yoko's famous first Bed-In for Peace in Amsterdam, while the heartbeats heard during "John & Yoko" are the actual heartbeats of John Lennon and Yoko Ono themselves, recorded on 22 April 1969 at EMI Studios, London, and later incorporated into the finished recording—a poignant and intimate detail that underscores the album's deeply personal nature.

Box (VG+):
The original box remains very tidy and presents extremely well overall. There are some lightly bumped corners and other minor signs of age and storage, but no major damage. A very respectable VG+ example.
Obi (VG+):
The obi is fully present and solid, with some age-related staining visible to the reverse, consistent with careful storage over decades.
Inserts & Contents (VG+):
All accompanying inserts remain in solid collectible condition. The complete set includes poster, photo strip, postcard, large wedding-photo poster, large John & Yoko lithograph poster, square photograph of a piece of wedding cake, 17-page "The Press" booklet with wedding photographs and press clippings, reproduction wedding certificate, and 4-page lyric and interview sheet. There is some light age-related yellowing and staining in places, but the complete contents have been well preserved throughout.
Vinyl (NM):
The record itself is exceptional and appears virtually unplayed. Beautiful clean surfaces with fantastic gloss and no significant signs of use. A superb Near Mint example.
