The album was produced by John and Yoko, but the best summary is probably the sleeve notes on the cover by George Martin which simply says "No Comment".
The rear states "Made In Merrie England Nov. '68".
The photograph on the front was taken by Susan Wood in Room No. 1, Second West Ward, Queen Charlotte Hospital, Hammersmith.
The rear cover picture was taken by a Daily Mirror photographer outside Marylebone Magistrates Court on 19th October 1968 after John had appeared with Yoko for possession of hashish (he had been arrested the previous day at Ringo's flat).
Even though John has always claimed the weed was planted, he pleaded guilty so that the pregnant Yoko could have her charges dropped - John was fined £150 plus costs.
It was this offence that would haunt Lennon in the seventies as he struggled with the American authorities to get his Green Card.
This the first release on what the Beatles intended to be a budget label - but when the records reached the shops, they were fully priced.
Just like the first solo release, "Two Virgins', this did not chart, and only sold around 5,000 copies
Side One:
Cambridge 1969
Side Two:
No Bed For Beatle John
Baby's Heartbeat
Two Minutes Silence
Radio Play
LABELS: EXCELLENT++
Clean, unmarked labels with the silver Zapple logo unrubbed - less than a dozen spindle traces
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Both vinyl surfaces retain their original deep glossy sheen and are practically unmarked
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Not seen much play and been very carefully handed - my play-check at loud volume found little to fault - just some (not unexpected) surface on the silent "Two Minutes Silence" otherwise, plays beautifully throughout
SLEEVE: NEAR MINT
Apart from some record impression the sleeve is clean, sharp and fresh - unworn on the edges and (thin) spine - all spine text is clear and bold
INNER SLEEVE: NEAR MINT
Again, lovely condition - no seam splits and very few signs of handling
