Description
'Wedding Album' was released on Apple on 7 November 1969 in the UK. It is the final in a succession of three experimental albums by John Lennon and Yoko Ono. The record came as an elaborate box set designed by John Kosh (also designed Let It Be Box Set), including sets of photos, drawings by Lennon and various other material as seen in the photos.
"Amsterdam", the second side, had been recorded first, in a hotel room in Amsterdam, Holland, during 25–31 March 1969. The piece consists of interviews, conversations and captured sounds during the couple's "Bed-In" honeymoon. Lennon sings a brief excerpt of the Beatles song "Good Night".
John & Yoko" the first side, a recording made on 22 and 27 April 1969, is of Lennon and Ono calling to each other, through a range of emotions, over the sound of their heartbeats. Lennon described the heartbeats as "like African drums", and the piece being "like an extended, very extreme, John and Marsha that was out year's ago by Stan Freeburg. It really makes your hair stand on end".
All of the components are 100% original UK printed. The vinyl LP Sapcor 11 (Sapcor 11A-1 & Sapcor 11B-1) is in fantastic condition and plays perfectly. The contents of the box are all in great condition with no tears or anything missing. The only real damage is the box itself, it is dis-coloured due to being over 40 years old, there is a small stain on the inside-bottom of the box and one side of the lid is damaged (as shown in picture).
After researching this box-set it is apparent that it is very difficult to come by an original UK Apple print box-set with all components and with such good quality. I will be more than happy to answer any questions on this item, after all it is an extremely rare item.

Not very often will an original Apple UK press album complete box-set come on ebay, this is incredibly rare.
