The Beatles - 1962–1966 (Japan) – 1978 LIMITED RED VINYL...

Highly collectible 1978 Japanese pressing of The Beatles' 1962–1966, universally known as the "Red Album", issued by Apple / Toshiba-EMI under catalogue numbers EAS-50021 / EAS-50022. This is the desirable Japanese LIMITED RED VINYL edition, with both records pressed on striking translucent red vinyl. These Japanese coloured-vinyl Beatles pressings are particularly sought after for their distinctive presentation and strong Toshiba-EMI manufacturing quality. The translucent red wax remains especially attractive and makes this one of the most visually appealing Japanese Beatles issues. 1962–1966 brings together the essential first half of The Beatles' career, covering their rise from the early Merseybeat singles through the increasingly sophisticated songwriting of the Rubber Soul and Revolver period. The collection includes an extraordinary run of classics such as "Love Me Do," "Please Please Me," "She Loves You," "I Want To Hold Your Hand," "A Hard Day's Night," "Eight Days A Week," "Ticket To Ride," "Help!," "Yesterday," "Norwegian Wood," "Nowhere Man," "Paperback Writer," "Eleanor Rigby" and "Yellow Submarine." The famous sleeve photograph was taken at EMI House in Manchester Square, using the same location as the Please Please Me cover and making the Red and Blue compilations among the most instantly recognisable Beatles packages. ⸻ Sleeve (VG+): The original Japanese gatefold sleeve remains a solid VG+ example, showing normal light age-related storage and handling wear while still presenting very nicely overall. The classic red-tinted artwork remains bright and highly attractive. OBI / Inner Sleeve: Original Japanese OBI and original inner sleeve are included. Vinyl (EX): Both red-vinyl records are in Excellent condition, retaining a strong original gloss with only very light signs of previous handling or play. ⸻ Details * Japan, 1978 * Apple Records / Toshiba-EMI * Catalogue EAS-50021 / EAS-50022 * LIMITED RED VINYL edition * 2LP set * Both records on translucent red vinyl * Original Japanese gatefold sleeve * Original OBI included * Original inner sleeve included
