GEORGE HARRISON Electronic Sound (Zapple 02) RARE UK 1st Pressing 1G/1G + Insert MINT!
Extremely RARE very first UK pressing of George Harrison`s first "solo" album, "Electronic Sound" on Zapple Records (May 1969).
In practically perfect condition, this copy comes from a high-quality, first-owner collection we recently acquired.
"George Harrison is a consummate musician, as Wonderwall Music clearly shows, and he's done quite well learning his way around his new Moog Synthesizer in such a short time, but he's still got a way to go. Electronic Sounds is fair enough as a beginning effort, and although one can imagine George sending tapes of it to his friends, it is hardly musical product. The textures presented are rather mundane, there is no use of dynamics for effect, and the works don't show any cohesiveness to speak of. However, if he's this good now, with diligent experimentation he ought to be up there with the best in short order." - Edmund Ward, Rolling Stone/August 9, 1969.
GRADING:
