BEATLES-64 ARE PROUD TO OFFER FOR SALE THE RAREST UK APPLE ALBUM KNOWN TO EXIST.

DELANEY & BONNIE & FRIENDS WHERE A ROCK/SOUL GROUP FRONTED BY HUSBAND AND WIFE DUO DELANEY AND BONNIE BRAMLETT.

IN EARLY 1969 DELANEY & BONNIE SIGNED TO "ELEKTRA RECORDS" TO RECORD THEIR SECOND ALBUM 'ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES",THE ALBUM WAS RECORDED AT ELEKTRAS RECORDING STUDIO, HOWEVER ON HEARING PRE-RELEASE TAPES OF THIS ALBUM GEORGE HARRISON OFFERED THE GROUP A CONTRACT WITH APPLE RECORDS WHICH THE GROUP ACCEPTED DESPITE ALREADY BEEN CONTRACTED TO ELEKTRA.

APPLE'S PLAN WAS TO RELEASE DELANEY & BONNIE'S SECOND ALBUM "ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES" BUT UNDER THE TITLE OF "DELANEY & BONNIE & FRIENDS" AND ACCORDING TO ELEKTRA RECORDS CO-FOUNDER JAC HOLZMAN APPLE GOT AS FAR AS STARTING PRODUCTION OF THE ALBUM USING SOME OF,IT NOT ALL THE ORIGINAL ELEKTRA RECORDINGS BEFORE ELEKTRA DECLARED APPLE'S CONTRACT VOID AND THE PRESSING WAS SUBSEQUENTLY STOPPED.

ELEKTRA RECORDS DID EVENTUALLY RELEASE THE ALBUM "ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES " LATER IN 1996 AND ANY COPIES THAT HAD ALREADY BEEN PRODUCED BY APPLE RECORDS WHERE NEVER MADE AVAILABLE FOR SALE.

THE ELEKTRA UK RELEASE OF THIS ALBUM WAS ISSUED THROUGH POLYDOR AND BOTH THE POLYDOR AND APPLE VERSIONS CARRY THE ELEKTRA NUMBER EKS 70439 AND THE APPLE SAPCORE 7 NUMBER (WHY SAPCORE (ADDITIONAL INCORRECT 'E") IS UNKNOWN BUT POSSIBLY A GENUINE ERROR OR MAYBE A JOKE BY THE CUTTING ENGINEER..MAYBE AT ELEKTRA'S EXPENSE!
