Description

              JOHN LENNON "UNFINISHED MUSIC NO.2.... LIFE WITH THE LIONS" 

ORIGINAL VERY RARE 1969 UK APPLE RELEASE.

RELEASED 9TH MAY 1969 "LIFE WITH THE LIONS" WAS THE FIRST OF WHAT WAS GOING TO BE "A LABEL WITHIN A LABEL". ZAPPLE WAS INTENDED TO BE AN OUTLET FOR THE "SPOKEN WORD" OR "AVANT GARDE" WORKS. HOWEVER THE WHOLE IDEA WAS SCRAPPED AND ONLY TWO ALBUMS WHERE PRODUCED ON THIS LABEL. THE LABELS WERE ACTUALLY THE SAME AS THE "APPLE" LABELS BUT WITH "ZAPPLE" WRITTEN ACROSS IT IN SILVER.

"LIFE WITH THE LIONS" FAILED TO CHART IN THE UK AND NOW THIS UK RELEASE IS EXTREMELY RARE AND VERY HARD TO FIND.....

ZAPPLE 01

THE "ZAPPLE" LABELS TO BOTH SIDES ARE IN TRULY STUNNING AND NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH NO UNWANTED MARKS OR WRITING. THE LABELS FEATURE JUST ONE VERY LIGHT SPINDLE TRAIL TO EITHER SIDE.  LABELS CARRY "MfD IN UK" AND "NORTHERN SONGS" TEXT. BOTH SIDES RETAIN THEIR ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND FEATURE PERFECT LETTERING AND BRIGHT COLOURING..

THE GLOSSY VINYL IS AGAIN NEAR MINT, IN NORMAL DAYLIGHT THIS BEAUTIFUL VINYL APPEARS MINT AND ONLY CLOSE INSPECTION REVEALS THE ODD VERY LIGHT AND TINY HANDLING MARK WHICH WILL HAVE BEEN CAUSED THROUGH HANDLING. THE VINYL WHICH RETAINS ITS AS NEW GLOSS AND SHEEN LIES PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO WARPING....THIS HAS ONLY EVER RECEIVED ONE VERY CAREFUL PLAY. 

COMPLETE WITH ITS ORIGINAL BLACK INNER WHICH HAS JUST LIGHT CREASING AND SOME SIGNS OF AGE AND HANDLING.

HOUSED IN ITS ORIGINAL "GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE" SLEEVE WHICH  IS EXCELLENT. THE SLEEVE IS INTACT WITH NO SPLITS OR TEARS OR LAMINATE LIFT AND JUST LIGHT, EXPECTED CREASING. SPINE IS RIDGID AND ALL WORDING IS READABLE. THE SLEEVE IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS AND UNWANTED WRITING AND CARRIES "MADE IN MERRIE ENGLAND. NOV.'68" TEXT. 

THIS IS A TRULY SUPERB COPY OF THIS EXTREMLEY RARE APPLE RELEASE. COPIES OF THIS ALBUM ARE HARD TO FIND AND SELDOM OFFERED FOR SALE IN ANY CONDITION AND ARE VERY VERY SOUGHT AFTER.
