The Beatles - Abbey Road JAPAN LP AP-8815 RED WAX - Rare 1S/1S Matrix - 1969
Description:A collector's copy of Abbey Road on the famous translucent Red Wax (Ever-Clean). While the sleeve and vinyl are from the same catalog series (AP-8815), the disc itself is a highly desirable 1S/1S matrix (First Press), housed in a clean, slightly later ¥2,200-series jacket.
This is the rare 'Version 1' first-press. The Side 2 label lists 'The End' as the final track, omitting 'Her Majesty'—a detail highly prized by Beatles completionists.
Condition Details:
- Vinyl: VG (Visual/Playback). Good gloss on the Red Wax. Some hairlines. Side 1, Track 1 ("Come Together") has a scratch resulting in approx. 15 clicks; the remainder of the album plays significantly better.
- Sleeve: EX-. Clean gatefold with minor corner bumping. Tiny dent on bottom seam (no split). Original ¥2,200 price point on back.
- Insert: EX. Original lyric sheet included with very minor edge wear and light foxing spots.
- OBI: Not included.
Technical Specifications:
- Catalog Number: AP-8815
- Vinyl: Translucent Red "Ever-Clean" Antistatic Vinyl.
- Matrix / Runout:
- Side A: YEX-749 1S
- Side B: YEX-750 1S
- Visual Note: Distinct "spider web" cooling marks in the dead wax, indicative of early Japanese mastering.

PAYMENT
I appreciate speedy payment as it helps me organise my post office trips, but in any event please pay within 3 days of winning an item.
DELIVERY I am based in the Isle of Man. UK residents pay no customs duty when buying from here.
Please note that all Isle of Man mail goes to the UK by ferry, which involves extra time and may not always be operating if the weather is bad. If this is a problem or you have a tight schedule, please do not buy.
All packages will be sent tracked so you can follow your package's progress. All items must be dispatched to your registered address - sorry, no exceptions. At the moment I am only delivering to UK.
COMBINED INVOICES It seems Ebay no longer supports combined invoices from private sellers, so if you are buying two or more items please pay Ebay's invoice and I will refund excess postage afterwards. Alternatively, if you are buying BUY NOWs, you can let me know in advance which items you want and I will relist them in a single listing with the correct combined postage. If you have any questions about this please ask in advance.
I can generally send multiple shorts for not much more than one pair. Feel free to ask me for a quote before buying.
QUALITY I try to describe items accurately but occasionally mistakes do happen and I may miss things, especially with clothing. Colours may differ slightly due to photography and scanning. However, if you find something is not as it should be on receipt, please contact me before leaving feedback and I will attempt to rectify it. My feedback speaks for itself.
REFUNDS Full refunds will be given if the item is not as described and is returned within 14 days of receipt. Please contact me first before returning.
CUSTOMS DUTIES There are no customs duties between the Isle of Man and UK.
FEEDBACK After you have left feedback to indicate you are happy with everything, I will reciprocate and leave for you.
