Description
JOHN LENNON /YOKO ONO "TWO VIRGINS (UNFINISHED MUSIC N0 2)"
ORIGINAL AND EXTREMLEY RARE 1969 UK APPLE RELEASE.
RELASED NOVEMBER 29TH 1968 "TWO VIRGINS" WAS ONLY THE SECOND SOLO BEATLES APPLE ALBUM RELEASE.
THE ALBUM WAS DISTRIBUTED BY TRACK RECORDS AS EMI DID NOT WANT TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE ALBUM AS THEY CONSIDERED THE ALBUM COVER, SHOWING THE LENNON'S NAKED, TO BE OFFENSIVE.
THE ALBUM RECEIVED NOTHING BUT CRITISCM FROM THE MUSIC PRESS AND FAILED TO CHART IN THE UK AND IT IS REPORTED THAT ONLY AROUND 5000 COPIES OF THE ALBUM SOLD (SIMILAR TO "LIFE WITH THE LIONS").
NOT SURPRISINGLY DUE TO THESE UNPRECEDENTED LOW SALES THIS IS ONE OF THE RAREST AND HARDEST APPLE ALBUMS TO OBTAIN.

THE APPLE LABELS TO BOTH SIDES ARE IN STUNNING AND UNMARKED CONDITION. WHEN VIEWED CLOSELY UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT LABELS HAVE NO MORE TAHN ONE OR TWO VERY LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS PRESENT. BOTH SIDES ARE CLEAN AND VIVID AND DISPLAY A LIKE NEW APPEARANCE.
THE GLOSSY VINYL IS NEAR MINT. CLEARLY HAVING ONLY RECEIVED POSSIBLY TWO PLAYS THIS STUNNING VINYL DISPLAYS JUST THE ODD VERY LIGHT AND WISPY SURFACE MARK, THESE HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE VINYL BEING REMOVED FROM ITS SLEEVE RATHER THAN THROUGH PLAY. THE VINYL APPEARS MINT IN NORMAL LIGHT. THE PLAYING SURFACE IS STILL RETAINS ITS DEEP FULL GLOSS WITH NO DULLING AND THE VINYL IS PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO WARPING.
THE ORIGINAL BLACK DIE CUT INNER IS SUPERB WITH JUST THE INEVITABLE LIGHT CREASES EVIDENT..
THE OUTER FULLY LAMINATED "MADE IN MERRIE ENGLAND" SLEEVE IS A STRONG EXAMPLE. IT DISPLAYS JUST THE ODD LIGHT WRINKLE AND THERE IS A SMALL AMOUNT OF LAMINATE LIFT TO FRONT LEFT, BOTTOM CORNER BUT PLEASE NOTE THE LAMINATE IS NOT SPLIT OR CRACKED AND THIS IS NOT SEVERE. THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL STRAIGHT WITH VERY LITTLE SIGNS OF HANDLING AND THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY RIGID. THE SLEEVE IS STILL ITS ORIGINAL BRIGHT WHITE COLOUR AND IS INTACT AND FREE FROM WRITING.
OVERALL A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO AQUIRE A BARELY PLAYED EXAMPLE OF THIS VERY VERY RARE AND EARLY UK APPLE RELEASE .
