JOHN LENNON AND YOKO ONO "TWO VIRGINS"
APPLE SAPCOR 2 / TRACK 613012
UK 1968 FIRST STEREO PRESSING
FULLY LAMINATED COVER WITH "MADE IN MERRIE ENGLAND" AND "PRINTED BY TECHNINK" TEXT, DARK APPLE LABELS WITH BLACK DIE CUT INNER
STAMPERS 1 L 1 H MATRICES -1 -1 'SOLD IN THE UK" AND "MFD IN THE UK" LABEL TEXT
LAMINATED RECORD SLEEVE IS ALL LEGIBLE BOTH BACK AND FRONT BUT DOES HAVE SOME CREASING AT THE CORNERS AND THE EDGES, THERE IS A LITTLE LAMINATE LIFT ALONG THE SEAM WHICH ALSO HAS A LITTLE FOXING
BLACK DIE CUT INNER IS IN CLEAN CONDITION DIE CUT CENTRE IS UNDAMAGED ( A RARITY WITH THESE FRAGILE SLEEVES ) AND TWO OF THE EDGES HAVE BEEN REINFORCED PROPERLY INTERNALLY SO NOTHING IS VISIBLE
VINYL RECORD STILL HAS A GLOSSY SHEEN TO THE SURFACES BUT DOES HAVE HANDLING / NEEDLE AND SLEEVE RETENTION MARKS NOTHING UNFAMILIAR WITH A FIFTY FIVE OLD RECORD THAT HAS BEEN PLAYED ( MORE OUT OF CURIOSITY I WOULD THINK ) OBVIOUSLY LOOKS BETTER UNDER NORMAL DAYLIGHT THAN A VERY BRIGHT LIGHT
SIDE 1 HAS A COUPLE OF LIGHT FEELABLE MARK BUT PLAYS THROUGH WITH JUST A VERY LIGHT CLICK FOR A COUPLE OF ROTATIONS OTHER MARKS ARE VERY LIGHT AND NOT FEELABLE
THIS IS ONE OF THOSE RECORDS COLLECTORS BRING OUT TO SHOW OTHER COLLECTORS SO GETS HANDLED A LOT ( BELIEVE ME I'VE BEEN THERE )
SIDE 2 IS IN SIMILAR CONDITION BUT NONE OF THE VISIBLE MARKS APPEAR FEELABLE AND PLAYS THROUGH
A RECORD OF THIS VINTAGE WILL ALSO PRODUCE THE ODD LIGHT POP AND CRACKLE WHEN PLAYING
BOTH LABELS ARE BRIGHT CLEAN AND LEGIBLE AND VERY LITTLE WEAR TO THE CENTREHOLE WITH SIDE 2 HAVING A SMALL MARK IN THE BLACK AREA TO THE TOP OF THE LABEL ,MOST OF THIS ISN'T VISIBLE IN THE PICTURES BUT ALWAYS WORTH MENTIONING
EXTREMELY RARE COLLECTABLE APPLE PRESSING ONLY 5,000 UK COPIES WERE EVER PRESSED
FOR OUR SINS WE HAVE PLAYED AND LISTENED TO THE RECORD SO WE CAN ONLY REPORT ON WHAT WE HEAR ALSO PLEASE BEAR IN MIND AS MENTIONED EARLIER THE RECORDING IS NOW 55 YEARS OLD
A MINT COPY OF THIS (IF YOU CAN FIND ONE ) CAN SELL FOR UP TO £600 AS ONLINE FORUMS ATTEST TO, WE WILL START THIS COPY AT £9.99 GIVE EVERBODY A CHANCE FOR A RARE COLLECTABLE AND HOPEFULLY AN INVESTMENT
