JOHN LENNON & YOKO ONO - The Wedding Album (Apple SAPCOR11 - A1/B1) UK LP gatefold sleeve in box + extras (full details below) 1969
Here is a very rare original UK edition of a Beatles/Lennon collectable that sold poorly on release and was deleted soon after. This is an A1/B1 pressing, with all the many extras present and correct. Condition? Let's roll...
Firstly, if you want to see the 12 pictures full size follow this link: http://community.webshots.com/album/580716357LDWHCY
Condition:
The box top: Essentially, "very good" (Normal wear and tear on the cover without any major defects, is acceptable.) The box has yellowing and small scuff marks pretty much all over, has a vertical crease line at the top centre and at the bottom centre, both about 2" long. At first glance they look like splits but are creases. The top edge is a little more discoloured than the rest, but the corners are intact.
The bottom two corners are split (see pics), and the wedding certificate on the inside is fully attached, with a little yellowing in places. Overall, it's a little tired looking but intact, with no pen marks, sticker marks, or major tears.
The box bottom: yellowing and some scuffs, but less so than the top. No edge splits, but a minor crease line down one side.
The vinyl: I have thought long and hard about this, and I can't quite make my mind up between excellent minus and very good plus. I would be happy with "excellent minus minus" but I might be splitting hairs. The vinyl is clean, with no finger marks, but a few hairlines and a couple of more visible marks. Only one of these faint marks affects play, about half-way through side 1 there is a small mark (a needle drop?) that causes about five light "clicks" - other than that it plays really well (like an "excellent") with the occasional pop and click that is all the more noticeable due to most of this disc being spoken word with lengthy quiet passages.
The labels are clean, with no pen marks or sticker marks. There is some sign of spindle wear, but not excessively so.
The Press Book: A 20 page booklet of press cuttings. This is intact with no pen marks or tears etc. The outer cover shows some slight creasing, but the staples are intact.
Bagism bag: This is made of PVC and is in excellent condition. There is a slight rippling which is normal for PVC and is no reflection on its condition.
Wedding cake card: excellent condition.
Postcard: excellent condition, some very light marks can be seen when held up to strong light.
Photo strip: excellent condition.
Drawings poster: excellent minus condition, some very light creasing but no tears or pen marks.
The album cover: Flip back laminated gatefold sleeve (Garrod & Lofthouse), graded excellent minus. No sticker marks or pen marks, the two corners of the spine have minor wear (see pics)
The large poster: very good - some yellowing, and obviously crease marks at the folds, and a small hole at a fold-junction (see pic). This poster has no pin holes or blue tac marks on the corners.
