Beatles - Set of Two Japanese RED VINYL Singles – RARE...

A highly collectible set of two early Japanese Beatles singles, both issued on Odeon / Toshiba Musical Industries and both pressed on the famous translucent RED VINYL that has become one of the defining features of vintage Japanese Beatles collecting. These belong to the original Odeon period, before the Japanese Beatles catalogue moved to Apple. Both titles originally appeared in Japan during the first explosion of Beatlemania in 1964, with completely different couplings and locally designed picture sleeves from their British counterparts. OR-1077 was originally released on 5 April 1964, while OR-1093 followed on 5 May 1964. The combination of the early black Odeon labels, Toshiba Musical Industries manufacture, Japanese fold-open picture sleeves and translucent red vinyl makes these particularly attractive collector variations. Included in this set: * OR-1077 – From Me To You / I Saw Her Standing There Original Japanese Odeon catalogue issue with the superb pink Japanese picture sleeve. The coupling itself is unique compared with the original UK single, pairing From Me To You with the album opener I Saw Her Standing There. The Japanese OR-1077 issue dates originally from April 1964 and was produced in red-vinyl configurations during the Odeon period. Sleeve: VG+ The original Japanese sleeve remains attractive and presentable, with normal age-related handling. Vinyl: VG The red vinyl shows heavy visible play wear and numerous superficial lines. It has clearly been enjoyed extensively over the decades. Despite the visual wear, it plays acceptably overall and remains a respectable example of this increasingly collectible early Japanese pressing. * OR-1093 – Do You Want To Know A Secret / Thank You Girl Another classic early Japanese Odeon release, housed in its distinctive green-and-white Japanese picture sleeve. OR-1093 was originally introduced on 5 May 1964, and original Odeon versions were manufactured on both black and red vinyl. Sleeve: VG+ The original Japanese sleeve remains in solid VG+ condition, retaining strong presentation with normal light age and handling wear. Vinyl: EX The translucent red vinyl remains in very attractive Excellent condition, retaining strong gloss with only light superficial signs of previous use. There is small writing on the record label, which has been taken into account in the grading and is visible in the photographs.
