| Tracklisting / Additional Info: |
Released in May 1964, this Japanese original Odeon label stereo LP was manufactured by Toshiba Musical Industies in glorious crimson-red vinyl, using their patented Ever-Clean technology for enhanced audio clarity.
The glossy picture sleeve remains in excellent condition considering its 41-year age, with just minor creasing around the perimeter and a very slight ringwear impression. The curved flipbacks are secure, there are no seam splits and the distinctive pinched-edge spine is strong, with clearly legible print along its length. The top front cover has a banded blue strip identifying this as a STEREO pressing.
This incredibly rare red vinyl edition also comes complete with its original Spanish language lyric insert. Typically, the title on this insert has been mis-spelt 'When In Spein' - quite normal for a Japanese translation!
Amazingly the original 3/4 length 'hankake' obi is still attached to the record sleeve. This unique style obi was only issued for a short period during 1964 - they notably adorned some early Beatles albums and now fetch in excess of 1million Yen, or £5,000! This stunning example is in perfect condition. So few of these have survived the past 40+ years that it's a real bonus to find one with this album, indeed this is the first copy we have managed to track down.
A beautiful original album, complete with insert and very rare obi. A chance not to be missed...

Japanese vinyl releases are premium quality pressings, much sought after by
audiophiles and collectors alike. In the 1960s Toshiba pioneered top quality
red vinyl pressings using their trademark ‘Ever-Clean’ process this utilised
a special ingredient intended to prevent the build-up of static electricity on
the vinyl. Japanese pressings are synonymous with quality - the vinyl shines
like no other vinyl - everything about their releases feels special. When US
audiophile label Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab first released their series of high
quality pressings the records were manufactured in Japan. The sonic quality of
Japanese pressings is considered to be among the best in the world and, in
addition, they are beautifully presented, their covers usually printed on better
quality heavy stock paper and often including a bonus lyric insert with dual
language Japanese & English text.
Nearly all Japanese LPs were issued with an ‘obi’ - literally translated this
means ‘sash’ and is derived from the obi (sash) worn around the traditional
kimono dress. This delicate paper strip, usually wrapped around the left side of
the album cover, often contains marketing information and album content details,
all printed in Japanese kanji and ~kana script. Obi designs can be as varied as
the LPs they adorn, and some series of obi designs can be as collectable as the
artists’ albums they decorate. ‘Hankake’ (3/4 length obis) are nearly impossible
to find, and the ‘Rock Age’ series of obis are especially rare and valuable. Obis
make a unique, attractive addition to the overall package and are becoming
increasingly rare, especially on LPs from the 1960s and 70s. Their delicate and
disposable nature meant that very early obis were routinely discarded, so that now
they can often be worth several times more than the record they accompany.
In addition to Japanese pressings of regular albums there are numerous
Japanese-only releases. Labels and artists often issued exclusive records timed
to coincide with their Far East tour, or they re-released back catalogue albums
with a re-designed obi, displaying revised graphics and other consumer information.
Regardless of your musical taste, Japanese records make a stunning addition to
any collection. Audibly and visually they present the collector with a feast of
delights. Genuine mint condition records, complete with inserts and obi, are
becoming rarer every day. Whatever the digital age throws at you there is still
a valid opinion that says vinyl sounds best; with Japanese records you get top
quality pressings, a tactile picture sleeve that looks stunning and you can sing
along from the lyric insert. This is the real alternative to a download!
