Description
JOHN LENNON-P.O.B "POWER TO THE PEOPLE"
ORIGINAL 1971 UK APPLE 1ST PRESSING.
RELEASED MARCH 1971 "POWER TO THE PEOPLE" WAS RELEASED WITH A FULL GREEN APPLE LABEL TO BOTH SIDES.
IT IS BELEIVED THAT AT THE TIME OF THIS SINGLES RELEASE LENNON HAD AN IDEA TO RELEASE A SINGLE A WEEK OR EVEN ONE A DAY TO REFLECT ISSUES AT THAT TIME. THIS SINGLE IS BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN IN SUPPORT OF ACTION TAKEN BY POSTAL WORKERS WHO WERE ON STRIKE FOR MORE PAY.
THE B-SIDE "OPEN YOUR BOX" WAS TAKEN FROM YOKO'S "FLY" ALBUM ON WHICH IT IS TITLED "HIRAKE" AND WHICH WAS BANNED BY MANY RADIO STATIONS.

THE SOLID CENTRE FULL APPLE LABELS ARE IN REMARKABLE AND NEAR MINT CONDITION TO BOTH SIDES. WHEN VIEWED CLOSELY UNDER A STRONG LIGHT JUST ONE VERY TINY SPINDLE TRIAL IS JUST ABOUT VISIBLE TO SIDE ONE ONLY! THE LABELS ARE OTHERWISE PRISTINE AND LIKE NEW.
THE GLOSSY VINYL IS ALSO NEAR MINT AND AGAIN CLOSE INSPECTION REVEALS THE ODD VERY TINY HANDLING MARK, AGAIN THESE ARE DIFFICULT TO DETECT. IN NORMAL DAYLIGHT THIS APPEARS MINT AND AGAIN LOOKS LIKE NEW. THE NEAR PERFECT VINYL LIES PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO WARPING.
ONE CAREFUL PLAY REVEALS A FLAWLESS AND FAULTLESS AUDIO...QUITE SUPERB
THE ORIGINAL APPLE PICTURE SLEEVE IS SUPERB. DISPLAYING VERY LITTLE SIGNS OF AGE OR HANDLING THE SLEEVE IS SPOTLESSY CLEAN WITH BRIGHT VIBRANT COLOURS. THE SLEEVE IS TOTALLY INTACT AND IS OF COURSE FREE FROM ANY WRITING.
OVERALL A REMARKABLE AND NEAR EXAMPLE OF THIS SOUGHT-AFTER UK APPLE IST PRESSING.
