 VG++VISUAL/ VG+  AUDIO / EX LABEL


This is a superb chance to own a 100% original master recording demo acetate on the APPLE label. The label reads 'Apple Corps Ltd. 3 Savile Row London W1' and the words 'Custom Recording' in the center of the label  the words "Instant Karma" and John Lennon are written in clear ball point pen.

The duration of the audio is 3:03 which is around 15 seconds shorter than the final released version.

This came from a collection of a Hospital Radio DJ who assures me that the actual recording date of this acetate was 26th January 1970.

It has that strange chemical acetate smell and is very heavy compared to normal. It plays well throughout with the odd skip but looking at the vinyl surface it could do with a professional clean which would enhance it further, having said this these acetates were not made for playing over and over.

~

What makes this extra special is the fact that it is a 10 inch acetate which are rarely seen if ever.

This is a piece of Beatles / Lennon recording history so good luck. If there are any questions please ask.
