Description
John Lennon & Yoko Ono – "Wedding Album" LP Box Set US 1969 1st Press
DESCRIPTION3 weeks on Billboard chart; highest position #178.
The track "Amsterdam" was recorded during J&Y's first bed-in in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
The heartbeats heard in the track "John & Yoko" are, indeed, J&Y's heartbeats, recorded on 22 April 1969 in Studio Two, EMI Studios, London. The recordings were later remixed into stereo and re-made.
The original Wedding Album came in a box and included the following inserts:
Vinyl album
1-1/2" x 6" photo strip
3-1/2" x 5-1/2" postcard
24" x 36" poster of wedding photos
12" x 36" poster of John and Yoko lithographs
12" square mylar bag with "Bagism" printed on it
11-1/2" square photo of a piece of wedding cake inserted in the mylar bag
17 page black cover booklet of wedding photos and clippings ("The Press")
Copy of the wedding certificate, glued to the inside box lid
Catalogue number displayed on the release as SMAX-3361
No writing etc. to be found anywhere!
LP & Labels: The LP looks Ex+ and plays Mint-. Just a few light hair scratches. The labels are in truly great condition. No damage at all except for a few very light spindle
marks.
LP cover: The laminate foil is lifting on some small places which is nearly impossible to get in a better condition for a record of this age. Otherwise it's in a very solid Ex
state. Please see some detailed pictures below.
The "Bagism" plastic bag: Mint-
Wedding Cake insert: front side Mint-
"The Press" Booklet: EX+/Mint-
"The Wedding" fold out: Ex-/VG+ One small hole at fold point
Fold out with John's drawings: VG+
Post Card and photo strip: both in Ex+/Mint- condition.
All paper materials are unsplit where they are folded.
The outer box shows some signs of it's age – has some small spots all around. The left spine has visibly got darker and looks light "brownish". The back of the box has
been a little pushed inside but nothing really bad. No tears, still very stable as a whole.
I tried to make a very honest description of the box set to avoid any frustrations. All in all the set is in a great condition for it's age and, considering it's rarity, it should be
very hard to find it in a substantially better condition than this one.
