According to the liner notes, "Lacquer discs
cut directly in the UK from the original masters at Abbey
Road Studios". However, it seems that Toshiba-EMI got a copy of the master tape from the UK and the cutting was done in Japan. Because the typeface of matrix written on the inner groove is completely different from the U.K. disc. |

COMMENTS

1986 MONO Limited
Edition. Issued to commemorate the 20th anniversary of The Beatles' Japanese concerts in 1966, the first rock concerts at Budokan, Translucent red vinyl, cutting done in Japan from the copy of the master tape strictly kept at EMI in England (maybe). The pressing and catalog number are identical to 1982-release version. Released the 10 Album (11LP) box set, limited to 1,000 boxes. Black EMI/Odeon label with silver print. The words "MFD. UNDER LICENCE BY TOSHIBA-EMI LTD. IN JAPAN" was printed at the perimeter on the label. "JASRAC" and "JIS mark" wereprinted on the label. According to the liner notes, "Lacquer discs cut directly in the UK from the original masters at Abbey Road Studios". However, it seems that Toshiba-EMI got a copy of the master tape from the UK and the cutting was done in Japan. Because the typeface of maatrix written on the inner groove is completely different from the U.K. disc. The obi: Custom Red obi. The commemorative custom red thick obi of the 20th anniversary of Beatles' Japan visit. It also features an EMI/Odeon logo, catalogue number and price information. While most Japanese records feature local music, a lot of music fans there like foreign music, as well. The language barrier in Japan presented a problem – should foreign album covers be changed for Japanese albums? The solution was the obi, which means “belt” or “sash”. The obi is a strip of paper, usually about two inches wide, that wraps vertically around the album cover, containing information about the artist and album in Japanese. As these strips of paper were fragile and easily torn, they are often missing, especially since consumers in the 1950s and 1960s attached little significance to them. Finding Japanese records made prior to 1970 that still have the obi intact can be quite difficult, and for some albums, nearly impossible. The inclusion of the obi can dramatically affect the price of some Japanese records, sometimes increasing the price by a factor of ten.
