Description

JOHN LENNON "UNFINISHED MUSIC NO.2.... LIFE WITH THE LIONS"

ORIGINAL VERY RARE 1969 UK APPLE RELEASE.

RELEASED 9TH MAY 1969 "LIFE WITH THE LIONS" WAS THE FIRST OF WHAT WAS GOING TO BE "A LABEL WITHIN A LABEL". ZAPPLE WAS INTENDED TO BE AN OUTLET FOR THE "SPOKEN WORD" OR "AVANT GARDE" WORKS. HOWEVER THE WHOLE IDEA WAS SCRAPPED AND ONLY TWO ALBUMS WHERE PRODUCED ON THIS LABEL. THE LABELS WERE ACTUALLY THE SAME AS THE "APPLE" LABELS BUT WITH "ZAPPLE" WRITTEN ACROSS IT IN SILVER.

"LIFE WITH THE LIONS" FAILED TO CHART IN THE UK AND NOW THIS UK RELEASE IS EXTREMELY RARE AND VERY HARD TO FIND..... SO MUCH SO THAT UK RECORD COLLECTOR CURRENTLY VALUES THIS AT £200 GBP.

ZAPPLE 01

THE SOLID CENTRE "ZAPPLE" LABELS TO BOTH SIDES ARE EXCELLENT WITH NO UNWANTED MARKS OR WRITING. LABELS CARRY "MfD IN UK" AND "NORTHERN SONGS" TEXT. BOTH SIDES RETAIN THEIR ORIGINAL LUSTRE.

THE GLOSSY VINYL IS AGAIN EXCELLENT WITH JUST LIGHT SURFACE MARKS (THIS HASNT BEEN PLAYED THAT MUCH..... NOT SURPRISINGLY!!!!!!)

COMPLETE WITH ITS ORIGINAL BLACK INNER WHICH HAS JUST LIGHT CREASING AND SOME SIGNS OF AGE AND HANDLING.

HOUSED IN ITS ORIGINAL "GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE" SLEEVE WHICH AGAIN IS EXCELLENT. THE SLEEVE IS INTACT WIHT NO SPLITS OR TEARS OR LAMINATE LIFT AND JUST LIGHT, EXPECTED CREASING. SPINE IS RIDGID AND ALL WORDING IS READABLE. THE SLEEVE IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS AND UNWANTED WRITING AND CARRIES "MADE IN MERRIE ENGLAND. NOV.'68" TEXT.

THIS IS AN EXCELELNT COPY OF THIS EXTREMLEY RARE APPLE RELEASE. COPIES OF THIS ALBUM ARE HARD TO FIND AND SELDOM OFFERED FOR SALE AND ARE VERY VERY SOUGHT AFTER.
