Description

Apple acetates are rare enough by themselves. Full LP Apple acetates are basically never seen. 
From my personal collection, purchased in 1988 and stored in mylar record sleeve in a smoke-free home.
Mary Hopkin "Those Were The Days" Apple full-length acetate LP. 
The official catalogue number is SAPCOR 23, and was released in November 24, 1972. Presumably, this acetate was pressed in the weeks or months leading up to that date.
The vinyl is in EX condition: nice and shiny, and plays perfectly. Hand-typed Apple acetate labels are not attached to LP, and they came this way. I thought about gluing them on at one point, then just decided to let them be. You can easily attach them if you'd like, and in the pics they have just been gently placed on the records. 
Cover is VG. 3-inch tape seam to top corner. Top spine cracking a bit, a little soiled. 
Two promotional photos of Mary, glossy black and white, included. 
Deadwax Matrices:
SW-1-3395 Z2 SW-2-3395 Z2
Tracklist:
Side 1 Those Were the Days Que Sera Sera The Fields of St. Etienne Kew Gardens Temma Harbour Think About your Children
Side 2 Knock Knock Who's There Heritage Sparrow Lontano Degli Occhi Goodbye

UPDATE: there's been a few questions about whether this is an actual acetate (aluminum disc with plastic coating) or a test pressing, and i have come to believe after doing a good deal more research about apple that this is in fact a TEST PRESSING of mary hopkin's "those were the days" full length LP. eBay will not allow me to change the title of this auction, so please read this addition carefully. please accept my apologies for the unintentional misrepresentation, as i had not realized that acetates would not have matrix numbers carved into the dead wax, and this LP has matrix numbers on both sides. sorry for any confusion i may have caused with this listing. if anyone wants me to cancel any bids they have placed, please just let me know. thank you!
