Description

Roots
John Lennon
Adam VIII A8018
LP

Roots was a mail-order album consisting of rough mixes of Lennon's 'Rock'n'Roll' album, part of the fallout from Lennon's legal battle with Morris Levy over a plagiarism issue.
It was available through television sale for three days in January, 1975 before it was pulled it off the market. Lennon then rush-released his "official" version in February 1975.
Whether this is the original 1975 edition, or a later re-release, I can't say.

The disc is in good condition, and plays well.

Full track listing:
Side 1
Be-Bop-A-Lula
Ain't That A Shame
Stand By Me
Sweet Little Sixteen
Rip It Up
Angel Baby
Do You Want To Dance
You Can't Catch Me

Side 2
Bony Maronie
Peggy Sue
Bring It On Home To Me
Slippin' & Slidin'
Be My Baby

Just Because

I'm thinning out my collection, and this one has to go.

Will post internationally, in a robust mailer.
Payment by PayPal only please.
