Description
JOHN LENNON "IMAGINE"
ORIGINAL 1971 UK APPLE RELEASE.
RELEASED OCTOBER 1971 "IMAGINE" WAS A UK NUMBER 1 HIT FOR LENNON AND SPENT A TOTAL OF A STAGGERING 101 WEEKS IN THE CHARTS, THIS WAS LENNONS MOST SUCCESSFUL L.P AND HIS ONLY NUMBER 1 UNTIL "DOUBLE FANTATSY" AND "THE JOHN LENNON COLLECTION" TOPPED THE CHARTS.
THE TRACK "HOW DO YOU SLEEP" IS REPUTED TO BE LENNONS ANSWER TO MCCARTNEY'S REPORTED ATTACKS ON HIM ON THE "RAM" ALBUM.
ALL ORIGINAL ISSUES OF "IMAGINE" CONTAINED A LYRIC/PICTURE INNER SLEEVE, A POSTER OF LENNON AT HIS PIANO AND A POSTCARD OF HIM HOLDING A PIG BY THE EARS.... AN OBVIOUS PARODY OF THE COVER OF "RAM" AND ANOTHER DIG AT MCCARTNEY.
APPLE PAS 1004
YEX.865/6
THE APPLE PICTURE LABELS TO BOTH SIDES ARE IN IMMACULATE CONDITION. WHEN EXAMINED UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT THERE APPEARS TO BE NO SPINDLE MARKS PRESENT. LABELS ARE SPOTLESSLY CLEAN AND VERY VERY VIVID...... THEY ARE LIKE NEW!!!!
THE GLOSSY VINYL NEAR MINT. IT DISPLAYS JUST THE ODD VERY LIGHT WISPY SURFACE MARK WILL HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY INSPECTION REMOVAL ONLY..... THIS APPEARS TO BE UNPLAYED.
THE ORIGINAL PIG POSTCARD IS MINT!
THE ORIGINAL POSTER IS ALSO MINT, I DOUBT THIS HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE AND UNFOLDED MORE THAN ONCE OR TWICE.
THE LYRIC INNER IS EXCELLENT. IT HAS SOME LIGHT SIGNS OF AGE AND HANDLING AND SOME VERY MINOR CREASES AND "BROWN" MARKS BUT NOTHING SEVERE. THE INNER IS PERFECTLY INTACT AND FREE FROM WRITING E.T.C.
THE OUTER FULLY LAMINATED SLEEVE IS SUPERB GIVEN ITS AGE. IT DISPALYS THE ODD VERY LIGHT CREASE BUT REALLY NOTHING MORE THAN THAT. THE SLEEVE WHICH STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL GLOSS AND SHEEN IS INTACT AND FREE FROM WRITING.
OVERALL A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS UK APPLE RELEASE.
