John Lennon/The Plastic Ono Band-Live Peace in Toronto 1969 orig 1st US issue with rare Capitol rim text on Apple label

Apple SW-3362 Original US first issue with rare Capitol rim text on Apple label.

Cover NM (Still in original plastic shrink which has been opened. I personally opened it as I hadn't figured on selling it, but I need the cash so it's being sold.)

1970 calendar VG++ (As it was from a sealed cover.  But due to being sealed inside for close to forty years it has some slight decolourisation but otherwise perfect)

Inner record sleeve (This was just a standard white inner. The funny decolourisation, on both sides, is from where the calendar wasn't being pressed against it for all those years. The calendar protected the area underneath from the decolourisation)

Record Mint (This record is as it was when pressed. It is in mint condition. This is the rarer Apple version with the Capitol rim text which only appeared on three Beatle solo LPs - this being one of them and the other two being Paul McCartney's "McCartney" and "Ram" LPs respectively. So a rare collectable and a much sought after LP)

This was John Lennon's live album from 1969. Here's an excerpt from Wikipedia:

"The group played eight songs, to a crowd of 25,000 people. Before the start of the Plastic Ono Band's performance, they were introduced by Kim Fowley, and Lennon said to the crowd that the group were going to play only songs that they actually knew. They performed the Beatles' "Yer Blues", because Clapton had performed it with Lennon for The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus, and his two solo songs, "Give Peace a Chance" and "Cold Turkey", the latter of which had its premiere at the festival. "Cold Turkey", presented as "the newest song that John wrote" by Ono, had Lennon reading the lyrics off a clip-board. Ono selected a song which had been the B-side of "Cold Turkey," "Don't Worry Kyoko (Mummy's Only Looking for Her Hand in the Snow)", which also had its premiere at the festival. Shortly before the band went into "Don't Worry Kyoko", Lennon announced that Ono was "gonna do her thing all over you". The band closed with an electric version of the Wedding Album track "John John (Let's Hope for Peace)", an extended experimental number consisting of her screaming the title repeatedly to the feedback of the electric guitars. The number, and the Plastic Ono Band's participation in the concert, ended with the guitars and the bass being put in front of the amplifiers to continue the feedback, after the band was gone, until Mal Evans turned off the amplifiers. With their stage remarks, Lennon and Ono linked the appearance here to their ongoing campaign for peace.

"Lennon personally went to Abbey Road Studios on 25 September 1969 to mix the album from their eight-track recordings. While at the session, Lennon finished the stereo master for the album, although he did go back on 20 October to re-do the "Don't Worry Kyoko" stereo master, removing the majority of Ono's vocals from his songs and Clapton's backing vocals. The album is technically a soundtrack recording, being part of the audio portion of the documentary film being made of the festival by D.A. Pennebaker, later released as Sweet Toronto. Lennon and Ono made a deal with Pennebaker to license their portion of the show for record, in exchange for rights to include their appearance. According to the Beatles Monthly, due to the adverse reaction to Ono's performance, Pennebaker removed the segments with Lennon and Ono after limited screenings of the film, later re-edited as Keep On Rockin'. Showtime ultimately presented the performance in 1989, and the full movie appeared later on home video and DVD."
