Although there have been subsequent Lennon compilations as well as 1990's formidable LENNON box set, SHAVED FISH is thegranddaddy of all such collections highlighting the singer's solo career. SHAVED FISH spanned a spectrum of the ex-Beatle's singles and B-sides through 1974's WALLS AND BRIDGES. Although SHAVED FISH eschews some of Lennon's edgier, more controversial tracks like "Working Class Hero", "God" or "Gimme Some Truth", the collection still acknowledges some of theriskier chances Lennon took in his tumultuous solo forays. The full range of his political, spiritual and social restlessness is represented--from the enraged "Woman Is The Niggerof the World" to the heartbreaking beauty of "Happy Xmas (Give Peace a Chance)"
SHAVED FISH also mirrors Lennon's complicated creative relationship with Ono, from the primal shriek of "Mother" to the mesmerising murmur of "#9 Dream", recorded during Lennon's "lost years" of the mid-'70s during the couple's temporary separation. Unlike later collections which usually feature work from DOUBLE FANTASY and the posthumous MILK AND HONEY, SHAVED FISH doesn't carry the same weight of tragic consequence (nor of domestic bliss) as those retrospectives. Rather, it celebrates the singer at the living, breathing and still defiant apex of his solo career.
Will be supplied with Heavyweight Plastic Sleeve for the Cover and the LP will be packed out of the cover in clean white inner sleeves and cardboard outer sleeves to protect your investment and mailed in a Professional Mailer surrounded by heavy-duty cardboard to ensure it arrives with you in the same condition as it leaves me.

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BIDDING!
From my own personal collection assembled over 25+ years with constant upgrading whenever available so this is a unique opportunity to acquire a pristine example of a RARE and COLLECTIBLE LP that has been lovingly cared for.
All LP covers were stored in the highest quality plastic sleeves and the records stored in separate archival white inners out of the cover to prevent damage to the original sleeves and ring wear of the record through to the original cover.
Lots of rarities will be listed over the coming weeks and you will be hard pressed to improve on these as I was relentless in the pursuit of the finest examples at whatever cost!!!!!
