This is a MONO Japanese pressing of The Beatles record Beatles No. 5 (Japanese Version). It is a uniquely Japanese record. It was issued as #28 in the series on 07/05/1976 by Toshiba EMI LTD on black vinyl.  This series was only released on black vinyl. There is a single LP in a non-gatefold cover with an OBI.  There is also a 4-page booklet with photos and the lyrics in English and Japanese that is in excellent condition with 2 slight bends along the right edge. The record is from my personal collection and was initially cleaned on a VPI record vacuum and treated with Last Record preservative. It was recently demagnetized and re-cleaned with an Audio Desk Ultra-sonic record cleaner.  
The record was recently play graded using a Lyra Kleos on a VPI Classic IV turntable.  I did not play the record with a mono cartridge.  The record is in mint- condition with no scuffs or scratches. The record plays very quietly with only 1 light tick noted on side 1 and 0 noted on side 2.  
The jacket is in excellent condition no tears, seam splits, but does have a small dent along the top near the edge of the OBI, and the lower right corner has some slight compression. The record also has the original loose shrink wrap that was used in the release of this series.  The OBI is in mint- condition with no bends or tears. The insert has is excellent as noted above. 
I will be selling off some of my Japanese Beatles collection over the next few weeks. Please be sure to look for more of my listings from this series of 41 LPs issued by Toshiba EMI between 1976 and 1982. I have a complete set and will eventually be listing them all. 
Multiple LPs can be combined to save shipping costs for USA customers.  International shipment is by eBay's Global Shipping Program.
