Description
Hi for auction today I have an original Beatles Wedding Album on 12" record. Its been neatly stored away since it was purchased back in 1969 and I have recently rediscovered it. I think this would be much better appreciated by a collector so is up for auction. It comes with its original box, copy of marriage certificate, picture of wedding cake, drawn sketches, press booklet filled with newpaper extracts, a poster size selection of black and white pictures also entitled "the wedding", a postcard with "hair peace" "bed peace" photo, a strip of four passport sized photos of John and Yoko, a pvc sleeve entitled "bagism" and the obvious record, sleeve and paper insert.
Unfortunately this album was never kept sealed but I will list each individual item and its condition in an attempt to be as critical as possible:
Box, the box would need to be restored as it has worn through on all four corners and is discoloured and a little frayed round the edges (please see photos)
Photo of wedding cake on doyley in excellent condition, no damage except very minor creasing in places, also little black dots on the back (see photos)
Black 12" booklet entitled "The Press" - Slight loss of black ink along the edge, again more promenent creasing on this where it has been opened and looked at
Sketches drawn by yoko (12" size x 3page) Again in excellent condition with only fault again is minor creasing (please note all creasing mentioned is only where items have been looked at - not folds or the like, just imperfections on paper like ripples)
Photobooth pictures - minor wear along edges but in otherwise very good condition (see photos)
12" PVC wallet "bagism" excellent condition with very few minor dirty finger marks on back (see photos)
Postcard in excellent condition with no obvious damage
Wedding certificate in excellent condition
12" "wedding" booklet in very good condition with minor creases/ripples and slight tears where fold has come away in places (see photos)
Record sleeve in excellent condition with only minor small tear at bottom (again in pictures)
Record itself - before opening this we were convinced that it would be unplayed but having checked the surface of the record there are a few hairline scratches, only one of which makes a tiny noise twice but otherwise looks near mint and plays with very minor static like a new record would - if this was a music record it would play absolutely perfect but as there is very little noise other than voices you can hear minor static that is nearly inaudible.
I've been as critical as I can but most people would think for a record made in 1969 its in absolutely fantastic condition and complete as new. For its age all wear is very minor except for box. Record itself looks near mint - only a few hairline scratches that are very faint inaudible exept for the little noise at the start of side B)
Any questions feel free to ask
Catalogue Number sapcor 11
Please note I tried to include all fourteen pictures but ebay limits to 12, I can send the pictures of vinyl direct to email of anyone interested to show condition in detail. Just contact me with your email address.
Also done a bit of searching around and cannot find any other copies for sale or even sold on Ebay - so definately a collectors item!
Almost forgot to mention the tracks! one side has an interview and various other cuts of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, the other side has John and Yoko saying eachothers names in various strange ways for the track
Further to a few questions asked, this record is complete uk pressing. I will post a link to the picture of the vinyl later this evening
