THE BEATLES - MEET THE BEATLES - LP - JAPAN - "RED WAX" - FIRST PRESSING!! - MONO - 12" - 33 RPM - ODEON (OR-7041) - RELEASED: APRIL 15TH, 1964.
THIS IS THE FIRST BEATLE'S LP RELEASED IN JAPAN. THE JAPANESE SLEEVE LOOKS SIMILAR TO THE US RELEASE BUT HAS A DIFFERENT TRACK LISTING, A RED AND ORANGE (RATHER THAN BROWN AND BLUE) FRONT COVER TITLE, AND A DIFFERENT BACK COVER.
MADE WITH "EVER CLEAN" RED VINYL. ALL OF THE "RED WAX" OP & OR ODEON LP'S WERE MANUFACTURED WITH THIS INGREDIENT INTENDED TO PREVENT THE BUILD UP OF STATIC ELECTRICITY ON THE DISKS. TOSHIBA / ODEON'S TRADEMARK FOR RECORDS MANUFACTURED WITH THIS INGREDIENT WAS CALLED "EVER CLEAN" AND SPECIAL EFFORTS WERE MADE TO PROMOTE THIS FEATURE.
MFD. BY "TOSHIBA MUSICAL INDUSTRIES LTD." IN JAPAN.
I GRADE VERY STRICTLY FOLLOWING ROUGHLY THE GOLDMINE GUIDELINES AS AN OUTLINE. I WANT YOU TO GET THE MOST ACCURATE DESCRIPTION POSSIBLE SO YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED AND HOPEFULLY YOU'LL BE PLEASANTLY SURPRISED. WE PROFESSIONALLY CLEAN AND PLAY GRADE ALL OF THE RECORDS WE SELL. WHICH IS MORE THAN 99% OF THE OTHER SELLERS ON EBAY.
LOOK AT THE GOLDMINE GUIDELINES HERE:
RECORD GRADING: EX+
PLAYBACK TESTING IS "EXCELLENT PLUS" to "NEAR MINT" EXCEPT FOR THE ODD LIGHT POP HERE AND THERE. THERE ARE ONLY A FEW INSTANCES OF POPS. INCIDENTAL VERY QUIET NOISE BETWEEN TRACKS ON BOTH SIDES DROPS THE GRADE FROM "NEAR MINT" TO "EXCELLENT PLUS". MAKE NO MISTAKE THOUGH THE "EVER CLEAN" RED VINYL STILL MAKES THE RECORD SOUND AMAZING. IT HAD BEAUTIFUL CLEAN AND CLEAR SOUND ON MY TEST LISTENING. IT HAS FULL, RICH BASS TONES. IT'S HIGH END AND MID-RANGE IS CRISP AND FULL OF PUNCH WITHOUT MUCH IF ANY BREAKUP OR DISTORTION. VOCAL HARMONY IN THE JAPAN MIX IS DISTINCT WHICH MAKES IT EASY TO HEAR EACH BEATLE'S VOICE CLEARLY. GRADES A SOLID "EXCELLENT PLUS". A TOP COPY!
SLEEVE GRADING: VG+
MINOR HANDWRITING ON BACK COVER (SEE PHOTO). BE AUTIFUL GLOSSY FRONT AND BACK COVERS. FRONT COVER IS A FOLD-OVER TO THE BACK. SMALL CREASE ON FRONT COVER. SMALL NOTCH BENDS ON 3 OUT OF 4 CORNERS. TERRIFIC PHOTOGRAPHS & ARTWORK ON FRONT COVER. NONE OF THE FLAWS TAKE AWAY FROM THE HIGH QUALITY OF THE SLEEVE. GRADES A STRONG "VERY GOOD PLUS". ALSO INCLUDES THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IN FULL COLOR. IN ADDITION IT INCLUDES THE ORIGINAL LYRIC SHEET. BOTH ARE IN GREAT SHAPE. THE GOOD FAR OUTWEIGHS THE BAD ON THIS SLEEVE.
MATRIX / RUN-OUT NUMBERS:
SIDE 1: 2EJ-13-2 16 L5 SIDE 2: 2EJ-14 19
