Japanese LPs

In the 1960s, Toshiba Musical Industries issued The Beatles' records in Japan under the Odeon label through its relationship with EMI. The first Japanese Beatles LP, Meet The Beatles!, was released in 1964, followed by numerous other albums and reissues. These Japanese editions featured distinctive packaging, including obi strips, liner notes, and lyric sheets with Japanese translations. This packaging is highly valued by collectors. In particular, the red "Everclean" vinyl pressings became a characteristic feature of Japanese releases. Many of these were produced between 1964 and the early 1970s. Some albums were also compiled specifically for the Japanese market, with track selections and sequencing different from their U.K. or U.S. counterparts. On 1 October 1973, Toshiba Musical Industries changed its name to Toshiba-EMI Ltd. and continued reissuing The Beatles' catalog. The Beatles' catalog is now distributed in Japan by Universal Music Japan.
