COMMENTS
|
Black Odeon label with
silver print Type-2 The words "LONG PLAYING" was removed at the bottom of the label. This early 1966 LP was not a Beatles album, but was instead a Japan-only compilation album of Beatles’ songs as covered by other artists. It’s noteworthy because of the unusual photo of the Beatles on the cover. The obi was likely the light blue obi with the half circle on top (but, I have not confirmed the obi yet). Toshiba released the first Japanese record featuring the Beatles. When this record was released in 1964, Toshiba's official name was "Toshiba Musical Industries Ltd." and they used the Odeon label for this and subsequent Beatles releases. Red vinyl: Besides good sound and quality printing, Japanese records also offered some other things of interest to the collector. One of the primary manufacturing companies in Japan, Toshiba, pressed a lot of their records on red, “Everclean” vinyl from 1958 through 1974 (maybe). While not pressed as collectors’ items, these red vinyl pressings are more sought out by collectors than their black vinyl counterparts. The Everclean vinyl was designed to be less prone to collecting static electricity and dust than the more common black vinyl. |
