AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A scarce Japanese white label promotional pressing of Ravi Shankar's Raga, released on Apple Records under catalogue number AP-80433 in 1971. This special promotional edition features the distinctive white labels instead of the regular commercial Apple labels. What elevates this copy considerably is its exceptional completeness: it arrives with the original obi strip, Japanese insert, and accompanying booklet—a particularly desirable combination for serious collectors of both Apple Records releases and Japanese vinyl editions.
