Description
JOHN LENNON "UNFINISHED MUSIC NO.2.... LIFE WITH THE LIONS"
ORIGINAL VERY RARE 1969 UK APPLE RELEASE.
RELEASED 9TH MAY 1969 "LIFE WITH THE LIONS" WAS THE FIRST OF WHAT WAS GOING TO BE "A LABEL WITHIN A LABEL". ZAPPLE WAS INTENDED TO BE AN OUTLET FOR THE "SPOKEN WORD" OR "AVANT GARDE" WORKS. HOWEVER THE WHOLE IDEA WAS SCRAPPED AND ONLY TWO ALBUMS WHERE PRODUCED ON THIS LABEL. THE LABELS WERE ACTUALLY THE SAME AS THE "APPLE" LABELS BUT WITH "ZAPPLE" WRITTEN ACROSS THEM IN SILVER.
"LIFE WITH THE LIONS" FAILED TO CHART IN THE UK AND NOW THIS UK RELEASE IS EXTREMELY RARE AND VERY HARD TO FIND.....
WE ARE DELIGHTED TO OFFER FOR SALE THIS REMARKABLE AND GENUINELY UNPLAYED EXAMPLE OF THIS RARE "ZAPPLE" RELEASE.
OWNED AND PURCHASED FROM NEW THIS ALBUM HAS NEVER HAD ONE SOLITARY PLAY IN ITS LIFETIME, THE ALBUM HAS BEEN STORED FOR FORTY YEARS AND THIS IS REFLECTED IN ITS UNIQUE AND TOTALLY UNSPOILT CONDITION.
ZAPPLE 01
THE SOLID CENTRE "ZAPPLE" LABELS TO BOTH SIDES ARE IN PRSITINE AND AS NEW CONDITION WITH NO UNWANTED MARKS OF ANY KIND AND CERTAINLY NO SPINDLE MAARKS. ABSOLUTLEY PERFECT IN EVERY WAY THESE REMARKABLE LABELS COULD HAVE BEEN PRESSED YESTERDAY!
THE GLOSSY VINYL AGAIN PRISTINE AND UNMARKED. THIS HAS ALSO NOT BEEN HANDLED VERY MUCH OVER THE YEARS AND AGAIN LIKE THE LABELS COULD HAVE BEEN PRESSED YESTERDAY!
COMPLETE WITH ITS APPLE INNER WHICH IS IN NEAR PERFECT CONDITION.
THE ORIGINAL "ZAPPLE" INSERT IS PRESENT AND IS TRULY MINT!
HOUSED IN ITS ORIGINAL "GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE" LAMINATED SLEEVE. THIS HAS TO BE THE BEST EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE THAT WE HAVE SEEN. THE ONLY THINGS THAT PREVENT A TOTALLY MINT GRADING ARE THREE TINY EDGE WRINKLES TO THE FRONT AND A TINY CORNER "BUMP" TO THE REAR, OTHER THAN THAT THE SLEEVE HAS ABSOLUTELY NO OTHER SIGNS OF AGE, WEAR OR EVEN STORAGE. THIS SLEEVE WHICH CARRIES THE CORRECT "MADE IN MERRIE ENGLAND. NOV.'68" TEXT IS TRULY REMARKABLE.
OVERALL A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO AQUIRE THIS FABULOUS UNPLAYED EXAMPLE OF THIS RARE UK RELEASE... AS CLOSE TO PERFECT AS YOU WILL POSSIBLY GET AND A GENUINE UPGRADE AND INVESTMENT PIECE.
