I am clearing out some BEATLES and BEATLES-RELATED LPs from my collection, so please check my other auctions.

IN THIS AUCTION: 

·       “IMAGINE” by John Lennon & The Plastic Ono Band (comprised of the following depending on the song: Klaus Voorman, Alan White, Steve Brendel, George Harrison, Nicky Hopkins, Rod Linton, Ted Turner, Rod Linton, John Tout, John Barham, Jim Gordon, King Curtis, and Mike Pinder. 

·       This LP is Apple Records SW - 3379.

·       It was issued September 9, 1971.

·       This LP has Custom Apple Labels. “MFD BY APPLE RECORDS, INC.” is printed on the perimeter of the label.

·       This LP Cover ALSO has a VERY RARE STICKER ON THE REVERSE SIDE!!!

·       Some copies were released with 1 of 2 stickers adhered to the shrink wrap: a 2” x 4” yellow rectangular sticker with song titles on it printed in red usually placed on the front cover shrink wrap.

·       The other sticker, found on the back, measures just over 3” x 5”. This sticker is white with blue print and lists the LP title, artist, and song titles. The song title “Oh Yoko!” is misspelled as “Oh Yoke!” on this sticker. THIS IS THE VERY RARE STICKER THAT YOU WILL FIND ADHERED TO THE BACK OF THE LP IN THIS AUCTION!!!!!!

·       Both of these stickers are incredibly rare as Perry Cox’s book, Price Guide for the Beatles American Records, will confirm!!!!

·       The COVER is graded VERY NICE NEAR MINT MINUS CONDITION. Only the staple holding part of the original price sticker at top right, a few VERY LIGHT creases near the spine, and a small nick at the opening on the rear kept me from grading the cover Near Mint. Check the images and you’ll see how nice this cover is.  

·       The RARE WHITE STICKER WITH BLUE PRINT on the rear cover is clean and bright and shows VERY LITTLE WEAR.

·       The VINYL is STRONG VG+/NEAR MINT MINUS with just a few light surface hairline scuffs. 

·       This LP was also issued with 1 of 2 photo cards that measured 4” x 6”. One photo card shows John holding a pig by the ears. The other photo card, which is included in this auction, shows John and Yoko as characters from mythology, with John playing pipes and Yoko as a wood nymph. This photo card is in Near Mint condition. The photo cards often went missing from the LPs over the years.

·       The LP was also issued with a 22” x 33” POSTER picturing John at his white piano. This poster is also often missing from the LP. The POSTER IS ALSO INCLUDED IN THIS AUCTION. It came folded inside the LP. It is in EXCELLENT CONDITION with just some minor light age-spotting of the paper on the backside.

·       Finally, also included is the DIE-CUT PAPER INNER SLEEVE that has PHOTOS, LYRICS, and CREDITS printed on it. There were 2 different inner sleeves issued with this LP. Earlier inner sleeves did not have the copyright information printed on the sleeve while later inner sleeves did have the Northern Songs copyright printing on the sleeve. The inner sleeve in this auction is the EARLIER INNER SLEEVE that does not have the copyright information after the songs. This inner sleeve is VERY NICE. This inner sleeve shows some aging of the paper, and it has a 1& ½ inch split on the bottom seam, but it is still VERY NICE.

·       Information provided about this LP from Perry Cox’s book, Price Guide for the Beatles American Records.

·       THIS IS A VERY NICE LP IN GREAT CONDITION COMPLETE WITH A VERY RARE STICKER, POSTER, PHOTO CARD, and INNER SLEEVE!!!

·       I’ve only had 2 copies of this “IMAGINE” with this rare sticker in the last 10 years. I sold one of my copies a few weeks ago on Ebay. THIS IS THE LAST ONE THAT I HAVE!

·       THIS IS A VERY NICE LP IN GREAT CONDITION COMPLETE WITH A VERY RARE STICKER, POSTER, PHOTO CARD, and INNER SLEEVE THAT WOULD BE A PRIZE ADDITION TO ANY BEATLES OR VINYL COLLECTION!!!

·       You should know that this LP with this sticker simply does not come available very often at all. The only ones I’ve seen recently on Ebay was the one I sold a few weeks ago and the one in Ebay auction 181178288101that also ended a few weeks ago.
