Item Description

The Beatles' Second Album was originally released in 1964 by Capitol Records for the North American market, compiling tracks from the UK releases With the Beatles and various singles — capturing the band at the peak of Beatlemania. This 1976 Japanese reissue on Apple Records (Toshiba EMI) is part of the prestigious "The Beatles 17" series, representing a meticulously pressed collector's edition for the Japanese market. The pressing features a matte gatefold sleeve with Japanese sleeve notes, English and Japanese tracklists with durations, and a 2-page lyric insert in both languages — providing exceptional value for serious collectors. Produced by George Martin and featuring photography by Joe Covello and Black Star, this is a complete and document-rich edition rarely found in this condition outside Japan.

Why Japanese Pressings?

Japanese vinyl and CD pressings are highly sought after by collectors worldwide for three key reasons: superior pressing quality with exceptionally low noise floors, strict quality control standards unique to Japanese manufacturing, and exclusive bonus tracks, OBI strips, and liner notes not found on Western releases. Owning a Japanese pressing means owning the definitive collector's edition.
