JOHN LENNON :- Mind Games - Original 1973 UK Apple PCS 7165 LP with Lyric Liner Sleeve

This fantastic 1U / 1U Matrix album is just one of a lovely collection of Beatle items I have purchased from an ex label licensing employee at EMI Records , Manchester Square , London W1

The disc has no signs of use , with no marks or wear evident .......... There is no label wear , no spindle use : Unplayed condition.

The sleeve is very crisp , clean and bright ......... No edge or spine wear ............. very minor trace of ring impression : MINT minus condition.

The Liner Sleeve has minimal use .......... beautifully crisp and clean .......... minor ring impression : MINT minus condition.

John Lennon (vocals, guitar, clavinet); David Spinozza (guitar); Sneaky Pete (pedal steel guitar); Michael Brecker (saxophone); Ken Ascher (piano, organ, Mellotron); Gordon Edwards (bass); Jim Keltner, Rick Marotta (drums); Something Different (background vocals); Yoko Ono. On this disc, Lennon tackles his usual messages including love (of Yoko and mankind in general), peppy optimism in the face of dire circumstances and humorous observations of crazy times and conditions. The breadth of his interests has always been gargantuan and somehow when Lennon switches between the global focus of the title track to the personal "Yoko (I'm Sorry, I'm Sorry, Yoko)," he convinces us that these sentiments are not all that far apart. The playful, sexy "Tight As" is a jaunty rock-a-billy number reminding us that Lennon knows where he comes from. On "One Day At A Time," a love song with nursery rhyme metaphors, Lennon's silvery falsetto, usually featured in Beatle background vocals, takes the lead and is truly heart-wrenching. The surreal, country dream pop of "You Are Here," with its steel guitars and leisurely tempo, pre-dates the luxurious kd lang/Ben Mink approach. To resist chanting along with the chorus on "Bring On The Lucie (Freeda Peeple)" would be near impossible-it's as infectious as it is "pc." Special kudos to Gordon Edwards, whose sure and melodic bass playing might've turned Mr. McCartney's head.

I add new listings most days ....... Please take a look

I usually start auctions at a low price to generate interest in bidding

All items are graded Audio / Visually , and played on a high grade system

Please feel able to bid with confidence , as a collector myself I understand the requirements in the gradings of discs and sleeves , and how important it is to recieve items in the condition as advertised

I grade items ( using the UK Record Collector Grading System) beneath a light , to be sure of condition

I do not believe it is necessary to use the eBay buzzwords such as STUNNING !! RARE !! AWESOME !! , padded out with grossly long winded 'descriptions' ..... Many of the 'experts' who use this method of selling also add technical information , which is totally unfounded and does not correspond with the actual facts , and would be laughable but for the fact it is totally misleading. I take time and care to graded items correctly , and only list quality records , with concise , accurate grading descriptions

I have been a lifelong music fan , my first concert visit was in 1957 (Birmingham Town Hall Skiffle Contest !) and have bought records of all the great music since 1959 , and had the privelege of seeing most of the great artists 'live' ( I saw The Beatles twice and Segovia !)

I began selling professionally in 1976 , and have a wide knowledge of the items I sell (and always learning !) having bought copies of my own at time of issue , always being interested in the sleeve , label and disc variations. If you have any queries , I will do my best to answer correctly

Please check my feedback ratings , you will see that a large amount are from repeat buyers ( many thanks !) .... and in the event of genuine complaints will remedy the situation as soon as possible
