JOHN LENNON Walls & Bridges LP 1st UK PRESS 1974 MINT-/EX
APPLE LABEL: PCTC 253
MATRIX YEX 937 - Z5 / YEX 938 - Z6
FIRST ISSUE THICK CARDBOARD "Walls & Bridges" PICTURES INNER SLEEVE.
Either side is printed with different portraits of John to those on the cover or the outside of the book, they are uniquely in sepia
colours. Typical of an early 1970's Apple/EMI type made from thick heavy duty cardboard, the top opening edges are perfectly
crisp and this has no more than the impression from first pressing's heavy vinyl. Re-issues have thin shiny inners, this is more
like an LP cover though! Like the record and the book, it has not left the cover or seen the light of day since October 1974, as
well as being unsplit on the sides and bottom centre like most are, this is barely even aged. Both the sides are shown with all
the item's two sides on display together, to condense my pictures down to twelve, I had no other choice.
THIS IS IN UNSPLIT,UNFADED AND UNDAMAGED MINT- CONDITION.
FIRST ISSUE "Walls & Bridges" BOOK WITH 6 STAPLED PAGES.
John Lennon's word-play and an ability to draw the truth from a great sense of humour, make this essential, everything in this
book had his personal input and this is the finest Lennon album insert of them all.
Measuring a large 11" x 11", like the front cover the six pages contain John Lennon's Primary school paintings, at eleven years
old. All are unused, uncreased and unaged, like the outside cover, like brand new, I cannot include the staples because all the
first issues rusted during 1974! This is not speculation, my original was bought on the day of issue and the staples were rusted.
Included are full album lyrics, credits and lots of Lennon written fun stuff, five colour paintings date from 1952 as kept by his
Aunt Mimi in Liverpool.
THE BOOK AND ALL THE PAGES ARE IN OUTSTANDING DAY OF ISSUE, UNOPENED ..MINT CONDITION.
FIRST ISSUE, UNIQUE DESIGN 'Garrod & Lofthouse' COVER, TWO 'FACE CHANGING' MOVABLE/REVERSABLE FLAPS.
The cover is in equally stunning condition as the record is, EXCELLENT - the front artwork has the eleven year old John Lennon schoolboy's
painting of a footbal match. Over it are two moveable flaps with portions of the young John's other paintings, found in full in
the book. Underneath those flaps are different parts of John's face, you can reverse them on the back like a children's game.
The back cover has a full size photo of him and the two flaps can change the face into your own choice, including covering up
the five pairs of glasses he's wearing. The two that fit onto the cover's back picture are heavily textured on first issues, so
there is a drastic variation in the colours, once again the distinguishing feature is clearly shown in a combined items picture.
