JOHN LENNON Imagine 1971 UK APPLE 1st PRESSING - LIGHT PLAY - GREAT SOUND
UNSPLIT LYRIC INNER, TEXTURED POSTER & PIG POSTCARD
JOHN LENNON / PLASTIC ONO BANDImagine
UK APPLE (PAS 10004) FIRST PRESSING (October 1971) OF JOHN LENNON'S CLASSIC "Imagine" LP
COMPLETE WITH LYRIC INNER SLEEVE, POSTER AND "PIG" POSTCARD
LIGHTLY PLAYED - SOUNDS GREAT
PRESSED ON HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL WITH THE APPLE CUSTOM PICTURE LABELS
MATRIX: YEX 565 - 1U (etched 'PORKY') / YEX 566 - 1U (etched 'PECKO')
MOTHERS/STAMPERS: 3/LR and 2/LP
THE RECORD IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL FULLY LAMINATED, DEEPLY GLOSSY SLEEVE "Printed in England" WITH TOP AND BOTTOM 'PINCED' SPINE
COMPLETE WITH THE LYRIC INNER SLEEVE, LARGE SIX PANEL BLACK & WHITE POSTER OF JOHN AT THE PIANO (PRINTED ON THICK TEXTURED PAPER) AND THE ORIGINAL "PIG" POSTCARD
Side 1: Imagine / Crippled Inside / Jealous Guy / It's So Hard / I Don't Want To Be A Soldier
Side 2: Give Me Some Truth / Oh My Love / How Do You Sleep? / How? / Oh Yoko!
LABELS: NEAR MINT
Clean, unmarked labels with only a handful of light spindle traces per side
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT
Both surfaces retain their original deep glossy sheen with just some light hairlines but no other marks
VINYL Audio: EXCELLENT
Very deep, very rich and beautifully warm sound (a typical Phil Spector production). My play-check at loud volume revealed no major audio issues of note at all - no scratches - just a couple of light clicks here and there (very few and far between) and some very light surface, mostly on "Oh My Love" (nothing major) otherwise, a very nice playing copy
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
The fully laminated single sleeve is unmarked with a deep glossy sheen - just some record impression and light storage creases to the extremities. The spine ('pinched' at the top and bottom) displays all text clear and bold
INNER SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
Clean with no seam splits - just some evidence of handling
POSTER: EXCELLENT
The poster (printed on thick textured paper) is clean and undamaged with no splits to any of the folds and it has never been hung - but it has clearly been handled.
I will also include a second poster (later issue - printed on thiner, smooth paper) which you can stick on your wall (should you wish)
POSTCARD: EXCELLENT
Clean with just some light 'foxing' spots on the back (common on this postcard)
ALL RECORDS ARE PACKAGED WITH THE VINYL OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE TO PREVENT ANY 'KNIFING' DURING TRANSIT
A PROTECTIVE POLY SLEEVE, NEW INNER SLEEVE WITH ANTI-STATIC LINER, QUALITY BOX (NOT ENVELOPE) MAILER AND AMPLE STIFFENERS ARE ALWAYS USED TO ENSURE THAT YOUR RECORD ARRIVES SAFELY
