Vinyl: Sealed! This is the Original 1972 Apple Pressing! The movie was directed by Alexander Jodorowsky, who was a favorite of John Lennon's and he had Allen Klein secure the rights for this wild film.
Cover: Sealed! (see photos) Some of the shrinkwrap is torn. An unexpected benefit of this is that I can see that this copy does contain the highly prized extra full-color pages in the gatefold that some copies don't have. It contains stills from the movie. Some of these are female nudes .

One of the most prominent examples of a member of the Beatles funding a film occurred in the early 1970s. Alejandro Jodorowsky had shaken up avant-garde cinema with his surrealist Western, El Topo (1970). John Lennon was so enamored with the film that he convinced his manager, Allen Klein, to buy the rights to it. Then he offered to fund Jodorowsky’s next project. Lennon handed a million dollars to Jodorowsky to make his follow-up to El Topo. That follow-up became The Holy Mountain (1973), an equally trippy experience about religion, frogs, and Christ figures pooping in glass casserole dishes.
Synopsis by Judd Blaise A highly symbolic, metaphysical take on the Western, writer-director Alejandro Jodorowsky's El Topo centers around the titular character, a skilled gunfighter (also portrayed by Jodorowsky) whose enigmatic personality has mystical overtones. The story begins after he and his son encounter the remnants of a massacred village, and El Topo seeks vengeance on the bandits responsible. After killing the bandits, he forms a relationship with the bandit leader's concubine. Leaving his son in the care of a band of monks, he joins her in a mission against the Masters, the desert's four greatest gunfighters. El Topo wins these battles, but does so through questionable tactics; afterwards he is abandoned in the desert, wounded and alone. A lapse of several years follows, after which El Topo awakens amongst an underground community of strangely deformed people. He agrees to help them dig a tunnel from their home to the surface world, initiating a whole new series of ordeals -- including the eventual return of his son. Jodorowsky freely mixes elements of Christian, Taoist, Ancient Greek, and Wild West mythology in this intricate, stylized, and extremely violent film, which developed a cult following in the 1970s through a series of midnight screenings.
–– ADVERTISEMENT –– Synopsis by Mark Deming Between giving up his super powers, confronting criminals from outer space, and having problems with his girlfriend, it's a bad time to be the Man of Steel in this sequel to the 1978 blockbuster. When terrorists threaten to destroy Paris with a thermonuclear device as they hold reporter Lois Lane (Margot Kidder) hostage, Superman (Christopher Reeve) comes to the rescue and flings the weapon into space. However, its blast outside the earth's orbit awakens Zod (Terence Stamp), Ursa (Sarah Douglas), and Non (Jack O'Halloran), three villains from Superman's home planet of Krypton who were exiled to outer space for their crimes. Zod and his partners arrive on Earth and use their powers in a bid to take over the U.S., and then the world. However, when Lois realizes that mild mannered Clark Kent and Superman are actually the same person, he brings her to his Fortress of Solitude, where his decision to marry Lois costs him his remarkable strength. Without his super powers, how can Superman vanquish Zod and save the world? Gene Hackman, Ned Beatty, Susannah York, and Jackie Cooper return from the first film, which was shot at the same time as parts of the sequel.
