THE BEATLES Yesterday And Today
From my private collection. Toshiba/EMI Japan issued this US release as part of Japan's "Country Flag" OBI / EAS re-issue series of the Beatles Japanese LP catalog which began in 1976. This is title No. 23 in the series, with U.S. flag OBI. Recording notes are as follows: Pressed from a copy of a US master, as identified by the matrix stamp. True stereo on all tracks, including A2 (I'm Only Sleeping), A4 (Dr Robert) and B1 (And Your Bird Can Sing) which have been in fake stereo on most US pressings of this album. Packaging notes are as follows: Front and back covers are from the US design with a gatefold sleeve. Japan's Apple logo on the front jacket in place of where the Capitol logo would be. No Capitol or EMI logos on the back. Includes bio-lyric sheet insert (in English & Japanese). Disc comes with clear rice-paper inner sleeve. OBI states ?¥2,500. Mfd. by Toshiba-EMI Ltd., Japan.
The Sleeve shows stains from ages, whilst the vinyl is in near mint minus conditon. Catalog number EAS-80568. A must for all Beatles fans. Hard to find.

Why Japanese vinyl releases are so special?
?Premium Quality Pressings Japanese vinyl releases are premium quality pressings, much sought after by audiophiles and collectors alike. Japanese pressings are synonymous with quality - the vinyl shines like no other countrys' pressing - everything about their releases feels special. It is a famous story that when US audiophile label Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab first released their series of high quality pressings the records were manufactured in Japan. The sonic quality of Japanese pressings is considered to be among the best in the world.?Obi All Japanese LPs were issued originally with an obi. This delicate paper strip, usually wrapped around the left side of the album cover, often contains marketing information and album content details, all printed in Japanese kanji and ~kana script. Obi designs can be as varied as the LPs they adorn, and some series of obi designs can be as collectable as the artists' albums they decorate. Obis make a unique, attractive addition to the overall package and are becoming increasingly rare, especially on LPs from the 1960s and 70s. Their delicate and disposable nature meant that very early obis were routinely discarded, so that now they can often be worth several times more than the record they accompany.
?Sleeve Printing and Insert Japanese releases are beautifully presented; their covers usually printed on better quality heavy stock paper and almost always including a bonus lyric insert with dual language Japanese & English text.
As you see now, Japanese records make, regardless of your musical taste, a stunning addition to any collection. Audibly and visually they present the collector with a feast of delights. Genuine mint condition records, complete with inserts and obi, are becoming rarer every day. Whatever the digital age throws at you there is still a valid opinion that says vinyl sounds best. With Japanese records, you get top quality pressings and a tactile picture sleeve that looks stunning, and you can sing along from the lyric insert. This is the real alternative to a download!
