GEORGE HARRISON "ELECTRONIC SOUND"
ORIGINAL AND EXTREMLEY RARE 1969 UK APPLE RELEASE.
THE "ZAPPLE" LABEL WAS IN EFFECT "A LABEL WITHIN A LABEL". ZAPPLE WAS TO BE AN OUTLET FOR THE "SPOKEN WORD" OR "AVANT GARDE" WORKS FOR APPLE ISSUES. HOWEVER ONLY TWO ALBUMS WHERE EVER ISSUED ON THE ZAPPLE LABEL (ELECTRONIC SOUND & LENNON'S LIFE WITH THE LIONS) BEFORE THE LABEL WAS SCRAPPED DUE TO A COST CUTTING LABEL.
THE LABELS FOR ZAPPLE WHERE EXACTLY THE SAME AS APPLE AND STILL CARRIED THE APPLE RECORDS RIM TEXT BUT HAD ZAPPLE WRITTEN ACROSS THEM IN SILVER LETTERING.
OFFERED FOR SALE IS THE INCREDIBLY RARE SECOND ZAPPLE RELEASE.
RELEASED MAY 1969 "ELECTRONIC SOUND" DIDNT CHART IN THE UK AND RECEIVED VERY LITTLE PUBLICITY, DUE TO THIS COPIES OF THIS ALBUM ARE NOW EXTREMLEY HARD TO FIND AND IT IS ONE OF THE RAREST APPLE ALBUMS AROUND.

THE ZAPPLE LABELS TO BOTH SIDES ARE IN STUNNING CONDITION. WHEN VIEWED CLOSELY UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT LABELS HAVE JUST VERY LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS PRESENT. BOTH SIDES ARE CLEAN AND VIVID AND DISPLAY A LIKE NEW APPEARANCE.
THE GLOSSY VINYL IS STUNNING. CLEARLY NOT OVERPLAYED THIS STUNNING VINYL DISPLAYS JUST THE ODD VERY LIGHT AND WISPY SURFACE MARK, THESE HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE VINYL BEING REMOVED FROM ITS SLEEVE DURING HANDLING AND JUST THE ODD VERY VERY TINY AND LIGHT NEEDLE MARKS. THE VINYL APPEAR TO BE MINT IN NORMAL LIGHT. THE PLAYING SURFACE IS STILL RETAINS ITS DEEP FULL GLOSS WITH NO DULLING AND THE VINYL IS PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO WARPING.
THE CORRECT ZAPPLE INNER IS EXCELLENT WITH SOME MILD CREASING AND JUST LIGHT SIGNS OF AGE AND HANDLING.
THE OUTER FULLY LAMINATED SLEEVE IS ALSO AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE. THE FRONT DISPLAYS THE ODD, VERY TINY EDGE WRINKLE AND A FEW ACTUAL CREASES. THE OPENING EDGE IS STRAIGHT AND TRUE AND THE SPINE IS RIGID. THE REAR IS AS PER THE FRONT. THE SLEEVE REATINS ITS ORIGINAL DEEP SHEEN AND ALL THE CLOURS ARE STILL BRIGHT AND VIBRANT WITH NO FADING.
OVERALL A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS RARE AND EARLY UK APPLE (ZAPPLE) RELEASE OF WHICH THERE WERE ONLY EVER TWO ALBUMS ISSUED ON THIS LABEL.
