JOHN LENNON /YOKO ONO "TWO VIRGINS (UNFINISHED MUSIC N0 2)"
ORIGINAL AND EXTREMLEY RARE 1969 UK APPLE RELEASE.
RELASED NOVEMBER 29TH 1968 "TWO VIRGINS" WAS ONLY THE SECOND SOLO BEATLES APPLE ALBUM RELEASE.
THE ALBUM WAS DISTRIBUTED BY TRACK RECORDS AS EMI DID NOT WANT TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE ALBUM AS THEY CONSIDERED THE ALBUM COVER, SHOWING THE LENNON'S NAKED, TO BE OFFENSIVE.
THE ALBUM RECEIVED NOTHING BUT CRITISCM FROM THE MUSIC PRESS AND FAILED TO CHART IN THE UK AND IT IS REPORTED THAT ONLY AROUND 5000 COPIES OF THE ALBUM SOLD (SIMILAR TO "LIFE WITH THE LIONS").
NOT SURPRISINGLY DUE TO THESE UNPRECEDENTED LOW SALES THIS IS ONE OF THE RAREST AND HARDEST APPLE ALBUMS TO OBTAIN.

THE APPLE LABELS TO BOTH SIDES ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. WHEN VIEWED CLOSELY UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT LABELS DO HAVE SOME SPINDLE MARKS PRESENT. BOTH SIDES ARE CLEAN AND VIVID WITH PERFECT AND UNSPOILT LETTERING, BOTH LABELS ARE CLEAN AND FREE FROM WRITING.
THE GLOSSY VINYL IS ALSO EXCELLENT. THIS HAS BEEN PLAYED AND THEREFORE THE VINYL DOES DISPLAY SOME VERY LIGHT AND WISPY SURFACE MARKS AND SOME VISIBLE NEEDLE MARKS, THERE IS ALSO A MORE PROMINENT BUT NONE FEELABLE MARKS TO SIDE ONE WHICH CROSSES TRACKS 1,2,3,7 4. THE PLAYING SURFACE STILL RETAINS ITS DEEP FULL GLOSS WITH NO DULLING AND THE VINYL IS PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO WARPING.
THE ORIGINAL WHITE INNER IS SUPERB WITH JUST THE INEVITABLE LIGHT CREASES EVIDENT..
THE OUTER FULLY LAMINATED "MADE IN MERRIE ENGLAND" SLEEVE IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE. IT DISPLAYS SOME CREASES AND WRINKLES AND THERE IS A SECTION OF LAMINATE LIFT TO FRONT LEFT, BOTTOM CORNER AND ALSO THE REAR RIGHT CORNER BUT PLEASE NOTE THE LAMINATE IS NOT SPLIT OR CRACKED AND THIS IS NOT SEVERE. THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL STRAIGHT WITH VERY LITTLE SIGNS OF HANDLING AND THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY RIGID. THE SLEEVE IS STILL VERY CLEAN WITH A HINT OF "YELLOWING" EVIDENT. THE SLEEV IS FREE FROM WRITING.
OVERALL A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO AQUIRE AN ORIGINAL AND RARE UK APPLE 1ST PRESSING.
