GEORGE HARRISON "ELECTRONIC SOUND"
ORIGINAL AND EXTREMLEY RARE 1969 UK APPLE RELEASE.
THE "ZAPPLE" LABEL WAS IN EFFECT "A LABEL WITHIN A LABEL". ZAPPLE WAS TO BE AN OUTLET FOR THE "SPOKEN WORD" OR "AVANT GARDE" WORKS FOR APPLE ISSUES. HOWEVER ONLY TWO ALBUMS WHERE EVER ISSUED ON THE ZAPPLE LABEL (ELECTRONIC SOUND & LENNON'S LIFE WITH THE LIONS) BEFORE THE LABEL WAS SCRAPPED DUE TO A COST CUTTING LABEL.
THE LABELS FOR ZAPPLE WHERE EXACTLY THE SAME AS APPLE AND STILL CARRIED THE APPLE RECORDS RIM TEXT BUT HAD ZAPPLE WRITTEN ACROSS THEM IN SILVER LETTERING.
OFFERED FOR SALE IS THE INCREDIBLY RARE SECOND ZAPPLE RELEASE.
RELEASED MAY 1969 "ELECTRONIC SOUND" DIDNT CHART IN THE UK AND RECEIVED VERY LITTLE PUBLICITY, DUE TO THIS COPIES OF THIS ALBUM ARE NOW EXTREMLEY HARD TO FIND AND IT IS ONE OF THE RAREST APPLE ALBUMS AROUND.
