JOHN LENNON AND YOKO ONO: ‘UNFINISHED MUSIC NO 1 TWO VIRGINS
AN ORIGINAL 1968 UK FIRST PRESSING APPLE STEREO VINYL LP
CATALOGUE NUMBER, TRACK RECORD 613012/ SAPCOR 2
The most OBSCURE Original UK Lennon Album, ‘UNFINISHED MUSIC NO. 1 TWO VIRGINS’ was John’s 1st UK Solo Album release in1968. Not surprisingly, it caused much of a stir at the time due to the nude content of the album cover and the experimental nature of the music content. A major obstacle was the record company, who refused to release it unless the pictures were changed. Eventually the album was distributed by Track Records in the UK - with one condition - that it was wrapped in a brown paper bag, to cover the offending nude scenes, but even with approval, the record company printers would not print it. In addition many record shops refused to stock the album, and it therefore only sold around 5,000 copies, not even entering the charts. Even the music press opposed it and no editor would accept any of the adverts. It was the first Solo Beatles album to be deleted by EMI.
The Naked Photographs were taken in early October 1968 in the basement of Ringo Starr’s property in Montague Square London, where John set up a camera using a delayed shutter release, taking the Photographs himself.
