Description

Yoko Ono with John Lennon and Plastic Ono Band  / OPEN YOUR BOX "Risqué Lyrics banned in UK & US" / 1971 Apple 45 / NM+
Songs: Open Your Box by Yoko Ono & Power To The People by John Lennon
Apple Records vinyl UK 45rpm pressing. In 1971, Ono's "Open Your Box" risqué lyrics were received in controversy ("box" is slang for vagina). Ono sings, "Open your box, open your trousers, open your sex, open your legs, open open open open open". The record was banned from radio in Britain, and was played on-air only when echo was added to blur the lyrics. Capitol Records, which distributed music by Apple Records in the United States, initially refused to issue the recording, and it was replaced as the B-side by another Ono track, "Touch Me". The B-side is Power To The People by John Lennon. 45 is in NM+ condition, great clean sound and super glossy (see photos).

All items fully guaranteed. Free, quick US 1st Class shipping.

The feedback is in! “Raven is legendary because Raven is the best" "5 stars always; best vinyl seller on eBay; Thanks, C!"  “As always -Raven is fast shipping and honest, I trust him 1000%"

Raven Record Shop. A Sound Investment.
