Original Pressing 9/9/1971 -- SW 3379
John Lennon's IMAGINE STILL SEALED -- VERY RARE
This historical original first pressing STILL FACTORY SEALED IMAGINE was purchased at fabfourcollectibles.com...the elite Beatles memorabilia collecting boutique in the world.
The company is managed by Mr. Thomas P. Venghele and he has items that reach $100,000 for purchase. Mr Venghele is the world's most noted authority on extremely highly graded and EXTREMELY RARE Beatles memorabilia and impossible to find albums in the recording industry.
This copy of IMAGINE is from the first pressing ever in the US and is still in its factory sealed condition. The extremely tight corners with no pushes, crimps, creases or any issues whatsoever had Mr. Venghele grade this rarity a NM-. Mr. Venghele has one copy for sale on his site as I write this on his website for the exact same price as I am offering this version.
This album has an approximate 2" shrinkwrap hole on the obverse on John's hairline. It does not breach the front side and has no affect on the condition of the album. Mr. Vanghele rated this a NM- and I am sticking with this grade as I have never removed the album from it's sealed vinyl protective sleeve until yesterday when someone asked about the shrink hole. This album is completely shrink wrapped and in an unimaginable condition for a 45 year old still sealed Beatle's original pressing. Looks like it was made yesterday.
Please feel free to send me your best offers.
Original Pressings of John Lennon's IMAGINE STILL SEALED are virtually impossible to find. Do not be fooled by others on Ebay that sell for less money. They aren't even in the same game as this original first pressing that's still factory sealed and are not 1rst Pressings from 9/9/71.
