JOHN LENNON
Original authentic very early 1st pressing of the second John Lennon's studio album, recorded in 1971 on Apple Records and containing unique labels with the SW 3379 catalog number and John's face on Side 1. The cover, laminated on both sides and designed by Yoko Ono, is fully sealed with factory breathe holes on both sides. This copy is the authentic very early 1st commercial release as the back cover contains an extremely rare large 3' x 5'"Imagine John Lennon Plastic Ono Band" hype track listing sticker affixed to the shrink wrap at the center top. The sticker contains a misprint, reading "Oh Yoke!" instead of "Oh Yoko!". This issue comes with a custom inner sleeve designed by John Lennon, having the photos and names of the personnel, who participated in the production of the album along with the portraits taken from a photographic composite of members of the Eastern Synod on one side, and the lyrics / credits on another side in the form of outgoing rays. This issue also includes a large 24' x 36' poster of John playing on his white piano and a 4' x 6' postcard of either John straddling a pig, or a different image of a nymph-like photo of Yoko and Lennon. The back cover contains the "Imagine John Lennon" text and the Apple Records logo at the bottom right corner and "Imagine the clouds dripping. Dig a hole in your garden to put them in. Yoko '63" at the bottom left corner. The copy is in Mint condition without any tears or splits on the shrink wrap. The corners are nice and sharp, with only the bottom right corner having a very barely noticeable bumping. The sticker has some very light age spots. The spine is perfect with a fully readable text and without any splits.

VINYL - MINT (FACTORY SEALED)
COVER - MINT (FACTORY SEALED)
POLICY:
Realizing how important it is to secure the safety of the item you've paid your money for, I'll put my best effort into packing the records as best as possible, triple boxing them into the specialized professional boxes, with the two outer boxes having a special construction with extended cardboard on the edges to prevent the record covers' corners from getting damaged during the transit, and will also put the vinyl outside of the cover (of course, unless it's a sealed record) to prevent the splitting. I always try responding to the messages, but please, before sending me a message, make sure that the answer to your question isn't included in the description. I'll use my right to block a buyer, who doesn't correspond to my idea of politeness, culture and respect toward each other. If you want to participate in my auction, please be honest and positive, and I'll be mutual with you. I'll remove the bids of a buyer with zero rating, unless he contacts me prior to placing a bid. Unfortunately, I don't ship to Germany or Russia. I apologize to the buyers from these countries in advance.
