Description
I’ve listed this George Harrison Zapple LP, the John Lennon & Yoko Ono Zapple LP and the original ad in Cashbox record industry magazine entitled “A is for Apple, Z is for Zapple” that announced the creation of the Zapple Records label under the umbrella of Apple Records. So you may want to consider all 3 auctions if you’re missing these Zapple items.
In this auction:
· “ELECTRONIC SOUND” by George Harrison
· This is Zapple Records ST-3358.
· This LP was issued May 26, 1969.
· The May 31, 1969 Cash Box magazine had a full page advertisement entitled ‘A’ is for Apple, ‘Z’ is for Zapple with the purpose of “introducing Zapple, a new label from Apple Records”. In this ad are the following comments from Apple about the new Zapple Records:
What is Zapple about? We want to publish all sorts of sounds. Some of these sounds will be spoken, some electronic, some classical. We’ll be producing recorded interviews, too. Some of the people we put on record will be well-known; some not well-known. This means that you’ll get plenty of variety. We don’t want Zapple to become a one track record label. We’ll publish almost anything providing it’s valid and good. We’re not going to put out rubbish, at any price.
The first 2 Zapples will be out May 26th. One’s by John Lennon and Yoko Ono. It’s called ‘Life with the Lions: Unfinished music No. 2’.
The other’s by George Harrison. It’s called ‘Electronic Sound’. This is a new thing for George. It’s all done on a machine called a Moog Synthesiser. One side’s called ‘Under the Mersey Wall’. The other’s called ‘No Time or Space’
The third Zapple will be by American poet Richard Brautigan. I’ll be called ‘Listening to Richard Brautigan’. We’re hoping to release it soon along with one other, which we’ve yet to decide on…..Our future Zapples will include records by Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Michael McClure, Charles Olson, Allen Ginsberg and American comedian Lord Buckley.
So listen to Zapple, it’s something else again.
· Unfortunately, the first two LPs issued by Zapple Records were also the last two LPs issued by Zapple Records. The third Zapple record was never released. Nor were the others stated in the ad.
· So, in this auction is one of the only two U.S. issued Zapple LPs. (But I also have a current auction for the other Zapple LP by John Lennon & Yoko Ono and the original ad.)
· This LP is in MINT to MINT- STILL SEALED CONDITION after more than 45 years!!! There is some slight cracking on the top edge, but the shrink is still intact and not worn through or torn. (Check images.) There is a price sticker at the top right corner.
· IT’S A NICE RARE BEATLES-RELATED ITEM TO ADD TO YOUR BEATLES COLLECTION!
