JOHN LENNON /YOKO ONO "TWO VIRGINS (UNFINISHED MUSIC N0 2)"
ORIGINAL AND EXTREMELY RARE 1969 UK APPLE RELEASE.
RELEASED NOVEMBER 29TH 1968 "TWO VIRGINS" WAS ONLY THE SECOND SOLO BEATLES APPLE ALBUM RELEASE.
THE ALBUM WAS DISTRIBUTED BY TRACK RECORDS AS EMI DID NOT WANT TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE ALBUM AS THEY CONSIDERED THE ALBUM COVER, SHOWING THE LENNON'S NAKED, TO BE OFFENSIVE.
THE ALBUM RECEIVED NOTHING BUT CRITICISM FROM THE MUSIC PRESS AND FAILED TO CHART IN THE UK AND IT IS REPORTED THAT ONLY AROUND 5000 COPIES OF THE ALBUM SOLD (SIMILAR TO "LIFE WITH THE LIONS").
NOT SURPRISINGLY DUE TO THESE UNPRECEDENTED LOW SALES THIS IS ONE OF THE RAREST AND HARDEST APPLE ALBUMS TO OBTAIN.

THE APPLE LABELS TO BOTH SIDES ARE IN STUNNING CONDITION. WHEN VIEWED CLOSELY UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT LABELS HAVE NO MORE THAN ONE OR TWO VERY LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS PRESENT. BOTH SIDES ARE CLEAN AND VIVID WITH PERFECT AND UNSPOILT LETTERING, BOTH LABELS DISPLAY THAT JUST PRESSED LOOK AND DISPLAY A LIKE NEW APPEARANCE.
THE GLOSSY VINYL IS NEAR MINT TO SIDE ONE AND EXCELLENT+ TO SIDE TWO. CLEARLY BARELY PLAYED THIS VINYL DISPLAYS JUST THE ODD VERY LIGHT AND WISPY SURFACE MARK TO SIDE ONE, THESE HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE VINYL BEING REMOVED FROM ITS SLEEVE DURING HANDLING RATHER THAN THROUGH PLAY AND ONE VERY LIGHT NEEDLE MARK TO SIDE TWO, IT MUST HOWEVER BE STRESSED THAT THIS MARK IS NOT FEELABLE OR SEVERE AND IS ONLY VISIBLE WHEN THE VINYL IS ANGLED IN A CERTAIN LIGHT. THE PLAYING SURFACE STILL RETAINS ITS DEEP FULL GLOSS WITH NO DULLING AND THE VINYL IS PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO WARPING.
THE ORIGINAL BLACK DIE CUT INNER IS SUPERB WITH JUST THE INEVITABLE LIGHT CREASES EVIDENT..
THE OUTER FULLY LAMINATED "MADE IN MERRIE ENGLAND" SLEEVE IS A VERY GOOD EXAMPLE. IT DISPLAYS SOME CRESES AND WRINKLES AND THERE IS A SMALL AMOUNT OF LAMINATE LIFT TO FRONT LEFT, TOP CORNER BUT PLEASE NOTE THE LAMINATE IS NOT SPLIT OR CRACKED AND THIS IS NOT SEVERE. THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL STRAIGHT WITH VERY LITTLE SIGNS OF HANDLING AND THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY RIGID. THE SLEEVE IS STILL QUITE CLEAN AND IS INTACT AND FREE FROM WRITING.
OVERALL A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE THIS VERY RARE AND EARLY UK APPLE RELEASE .
THESE COPIES SELDOM SURFACE FOR SALE IN ANY CONDITION AND THIS IS A HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER ALBUM RELEASE, ALL BEATLES, LENNON AND APPLE COLLECTORS CONSIDER THIS A MUST HAVE ITEM.
