Cut straight from authentic UK master tape matrices onto whisper-quiet, pristine Japanese virgin wax, the uncompressed analog grooves deliver a wide, jaw-dropping soundstage—driving flawlessly from the frantic, hand-clapping rhythm of \"I Want to Hold Your Hand\" and \"She Loves You\" to the fragile, pastoral acoustic beauty of \"Yesterday\" and \"Michelle.\" Teeming with crystalline vocal separation, deep acoustic bass definition, and George Martin’s historic stereo panning choices, every track leaps from your speakers with stunning, front-row Abbey Road studio intimacy. Beautifully preserved complete with its iconic Union Jack UK flag OBI strip, English-Japanese bio-lyric insert, and its famously reversed Robert Whitaker rear cover photo, this premier import LP is a non-negotiable masterpiece for any serious Beatles archivist or elite audiophile library.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1976 Japanese import\/release by Apple Records, catalog # EAS-80557.  Reissue of original compilation from 1966 UK.  8th installment in a Japanese Beatles series.  Stereo compilation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSleeve grades VG+.  \u003c\/strong\u003eSome corner dings but finish\/color\/gloss excellent.  Obi and original inserts in excellent condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinyl grades VG+.  \u003c\/strong\u003ePlays through crisp and clear with no issues.  Surface shows a few light marks\/hairlines that don't impact play.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CS5 Vinyl and Memorabilia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47256740593795,"sku":null,"price":17.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/3553\/6003\/files\/WIN_20260607_17_04_37_Pro.jpg?v=1780871317","url":"https:\/\/cs5music.com\/products\/beatles-a-collection-of-oldies-1976-japan-vg-vg","provider":"CS5 Vinyl and Memorabilia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
