A highly collectible Japanese Apple Records edition of The Beatles’ groundbreaking 1967 album, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. This release is a reissue of the earlier Odeon red vinyl edition, produced under the Apple label in the early 1970s. It features the iconic red “Everclean” vinyl, prized for its visual appeal and superior sound clarity. The Obi strip, printed in vivid red and yellow with Japanese text and Apple logo, adds tremendous collector value — particularly in this edition, which mirrors the original design with Apple branding at the bottom. The gatefold jacket opens to reveal the famous inner portrait of the band in colorful uniforms, with lyric text printed on the reverse sleeve. Artist / Band: The Beatles Album Title: Sgt.
