This is the original UK version of the album released to market.

This unique Elephants Memory LP is hardly ever offered for sale in this condition – even without the Demo label.

This is the extremely rare real thing: a genuine Mint/EX condition UK first pressing. The record, cover and inner sleeve are all in superb condition, without any obvious defects like scratches, tears, creases, stickers, writing, dog ears, stains and the like. See pics. All items are the genuine originals bought together by me in 1972 not reprints or replacements. The LP is the original UK 1972 stereo LP, which was only played a few times on top-end audiophile equipment and lovingly cared for.

THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES OF THIS HISTORIC ROCK ALBUM EVER OFFERED FOR SALE IN RECENT TIMES – IF EVER

Elephant's Memory was an American rock band formed in New York City in the late 1960s, known primarily for backing John Lennon and Yoko Ono from late 1971 to 1973. For live performances with Lennon and Ono, the band was known as the Plastic Ono Elephant's Memory Band.
In April and May 1972, the band recorded their second self-titled album, produced by Lennon and released on the Beatles' Apple Records label. It also contains various contributions by Lennon himself on guitar and vocals. This album has never been re-issued on compact disc. From October to November, the band recorded material for Ono's double album Approximately Infinite Universe, released in January 1973.

“Elephant's Memory made more of an impact than anyone ever might have suspected from a scuffling New York City street band.”

This may be your only ONCE IN A LIFETIME chance to own this rare piece of rock history in this condition.

Their first album, simply called Elephant's Memory, was released in 1969 on Buddah Records, a label more famous for bubblegum pop groups than whacked-out horn bands.
Two tracks from the LP, "Jungle Gym at the Zoo" and "Old Man Willow," found their way onto the Midnight Cowboy movie soundtrack later that year, which gave the group some visibility, but it didn't exactly translate into sales for the debut album. A second LP, 1970's Take It to the Streets, had even less commercial impact. Then came John Lennon and Some Time in New York City, and Elephant's Memory had their moment in the sun. They released a third album, also called Elephant's Memory and featuring David Peel, on Apple Records later that year, then backed up Yoko Ono on 1973's Approximately Infinite Universe. Angels Forever, which turned out to be the group's swan song, appeared in 1974.

A fantastic time warp example of this rarity in amazing condition, a true investment grade item - get it while you can!
