Type-1: "Hankake" Obi
Reply Deletesleeve
(April 1964 - Oct 1964)
One of the characteristics of the Odeon Obis with the 7000 range numbers (from 7041 to 7600) is definitiely the dark blue "Hankake-Obi" (Obis draped from the top, not forming a loop), which is the oldest type.
This type can be found only in three Beatles' albums and one omnibus album.
It is made from very thin paper stock. It is white in design with dark blue Japanese text. It also features an Odeon logo, catalogue number and price information.
While most Japanese records feature local music, a lot of music fans there like foreign music, as well. The language barrier in Japan presented a problem – should foreign album covers be changed for Japanese albums? The solution was the obi, which means “belt” or “sash”. The obi is a strip of paper, usually about two inches wide, that wraps vertically around the album cover, containing information about the artist and album in Japanese. As these strips of paper were fragile and easily torn, they are often missing, especially since consumers in the 1950s and 1960s attached little significance to them. Finding Japanese records made prior to 1970 that still have the obi intact can be quite difficult, and for some albums, nearly impossible. The inclusion of the obi can dramatically affect the price of some Japanese records, sometimes increasing the price by a factor of ten.
