Beatles – I Want To Hold Your Hand / This Boy, a 1966 Japanese 7" single on Toshiba translucent wine-red coloured vinyl, Odeon OR-1041, 45 RPM, with VG+ sleeve and VG+ vinyl.
Description from the seller
Scarce Japanese Odeon red-vinyl pressing of one of The Beatles' most important singles, I Want To Hold Your Hand, backed with the superb Lennon-McCartney B-side This Boy. OR-1041 was kept in the Japanese catalogue for several years and appeared in a fascinating succession of sleeve, price and vinyl variations. This example is one of the desirable G ¥370 versions pressed on Toshiba's distinctive translucent wine-red vinyl, considerably harder to encounter than the numerous black-vinyl issues. The Japanese red pressings are often referred to by collectors as "Everclean" red vinyl, a particularly attractive characteristic of Toshiba's 1960s record production.
⸻
Sleeve (VG+):
Very solid and presentable original sleeve. Some visible ring wear and light age-related handling are evident, but the overall condition remains a strong example.
Vinyl (VG+):
Attractive translucent red vinyl retaining a good shine. Some superficial hairlines and normal play wear are visible, but overall a very respectable copy.
