Description

Vinyl:  Sealed!   This is the Original 1972 Apple Pressing! The movie was directed by Alexander Jodorowsky, who was a favorite of John Lennon's and he had Allen Klein secure the rights for this wild film. 
Cover: Sealed! (see photos) There are two copies available.  Some of the shrinkwrap is torn on both copies.   One has more torn than the other.  If you're the first to buy one of the two, you get the one with more shrinkwrap intact.  An unexpected benefit of the torn shrinkwrap is that I can see that these copies do contain the highly prized extra full-color pages in the gatefold that some copies don't have. These pages contain stills from the movie.  Spoiler alert!  There are photos of female nudes in the pictures inside the gatefold!   
Goldmine Standards.   I play test every album that I sell on eBay as I have found you can't rate an LP accurately by just visually inspecting an album....except sealed albums, of course!

One of the most prominent examples of a member of the Beatles funding a film occurred in the early 1970s. Alejandro Jodorowsky had shaken up avant-garde cinema with his surrealist Western, El Topo (1970). John Lennon was so enamored with the film that he convinced his manager, Allen Klein, to buy the rights to it. Then he offered to fund Jodorowsky’s next project. Lennon handed a million dollars to Jodorowsky to make his follow-up to El Topo. That follow-up became The Holy Mountain (1973), an equally trippy experience about religion, frogs, and Christ figures pooping in glass casserole dishes.
Synopsis by Judd Blaise A highly symbolic, metaphysical take on the Western, writer-director Alejandro Jodorowsky's El Topo centers around the titular character, a skilled gunfighter (also portrayed by Jodorowsky) whose enigmatic personality has mystical overtones. The story begins after he and his son encounter the remnants of a massacred village, and El Topo seeks vengeance on the bandits responsible. After killing the bandits, he forms a relationship with the bandit leader's concubine. Leaving his son in the care of a band of monks, he joins her in a mission against the Masters, the desert's four greatest gunfighters. El Topo wins these battles, but does so through questionable tactics; afterwards he is abandoned in the desert, wounded and alone. A lapse of several years follows, after which El Topo awakens amongst an underground community of strangely deformed people. He agrees to help them dig a tunnel from their home to the surface world, initiating a whole new series of ordeals -- including the eventual return of his son. Jodorowsky freely mixes elements of Christian, Taoist, Ancient Greek and Wild West mythology in this intricate, stylized, and extremely violent film, which developed a cult following in the 1970s through a series of midnight screenings.
