JOHN LENNON & YOKO ONO

Unfinished Music No. 1 Two Virgins

Original US LP released on Apple / Tetragrammaton Records

 with machine stamped encircled “MR” in the trail-off

At the time of its release, this duo album by John Lennon and Yoko Ono gained its greatest notice for its cover, a photograph that depicted the two standing before the camera naked. The recording, too, can be described as naked, in that it contains no music that would interfere with one's ability to hear the normal sounds of life. The record is not unlike what you might get if you turned on a tape recorder for a random half-hour in your home -- snatches of inaudible conversation far away from the microphone, footsteps, wind, and so on. Conceptual "music" in the Cage-ian sense, yes, but not popular music of the kind with which John Lennon had been previously associated in any sense at all.

**RECORD GRADING**: SEALED:Record is still sealed, never opened. NEW: Never played but not sealed. MINT Should appear to be perfect in every way. It should appear to have just left the manufacturer without any handling. no scuffs, scratches, stains, or anything else! NEAR MINT: Appears mint, but has one 1 or 2 inconsequential flaws that do not affect the play of the record. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. An LP jacket should only have minor signs of wear-slight ring wear, minor denting to a corner, and writing on the cover and have no creases, folds, seam splits, or any other noticeable similar defect. VERY GOOD PLUS: Record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect sound are OK. The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The cover can have some wear from storage, but it should not affect the beauty of the artwork. VERY GOOD: Many of the defects found in a Vg+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. A VG record looks like it will have some audible surface noises when played, but it will not overwhelm the music or the overall listening experience. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, ring wear, seam splits, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them. GOOD:obvious scuffing and marking, but will play through with significant surface noise, pops, crackles, etc. Cover has heavier writing, worn label, obvious splits on sight. POOR:basically unplayable, but may still have some collectible or nostalgic value, cover is heavily damaged.
