History...
Unfinished Music No. 1: Two Virgins is the first of three experimental albums released by John Lennon and Yoko Ono on Apple Records. It was the result of an all-night session of musical experimentation with Yoko in John's home studio at Kenwood, while his wife, Cynthia Lennon, was on holiday in Greece. Lennon and Ono's 1968 debut recording is known not only for its avant-garde content, but also for its cover, which shows the couple naked. This made the album controversial to both the public and the parent record company EMI, which refused to distribute it. In an attempt to avoid controversy, the LP record was sold in a brown paper bag, and distributed by Track and Tetragrammaton in the United Kingdom and the United States respectively.

The outer cover is stunning! Shows almost no signs or age at all! Has air pockets between the sleeve and outer protective film but pretty much NEAR MINT /EX ++
The vinyl is also fantastic! It has the most superior glossy sheen to the surface and sits completely flat with no warping. The labels and spindle holes are perfection! I was informed that this was only played once and then stored away - there is a couple of barely noticeable sleeve removal wisps and only one small visible hair which is not feelable at all! Overall MINT- / EX+
The original black inner is also excellent! Has no seam splits or viewing window damage, just a couple of tiny dirt marks. EXCELLENT +
The often missing original brown paper bag is also included!! One side is great and in tact, the other side is torn.
OVERALL AN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING MUST HAVE TO ADD TO YOUR MUSICAL COLLECTION!!!
