Description

John Lennon & Yoko Ono  1968   LP "Two Virgins" on Apple/Tetragrammaton Records   Cat# T-5001 STEREO
AND
John Lennon & Yoko Ono  1969   LP "Unfinished Music No.2 Life With The Lions" on Zapple Cat# ST-3357 STEREO

You are bidding on very TWO rare albums by John & Yoko!  Both in Near Mint Condition!

"Two Virgins" featured the front and rear photos of the artists in their natural state, and includes the rare outer bag/cover which quotes Genesis Chapter 2, and was required in order for conservative-minded stores to agree to stock the album!

"Life With The Lions" features a photo of Yoko in her hospital bed on the front, and a photo of the Lennons being arrested on the back cover!  Also includes the rare inner sleeve with liner notes and additional info including the more than appropriate quote from Beatles produced George Martin: "No Comment".

Together, these two albums were the farthest extreme of experimental avant-garde 60s psych!

These are absolutely original pressings, not re-issues or counterfeits!

Quick Guide To Record Grading:

M-       =  Sealed or Unplayed.
NM     =  Played minimally with no damage or defects.
EXC    =  Very light visible marks not affecting grooves (i.e. sleeve marks, dust abrasions, automatic changer wear)
VG+    =  Record well cared for but showing some wear, enjoyable listening copy.
VG      =  Record noticeably damaged but listenable with background noise.
VG-     =  The minimum tolerable grade for most buyers - expect background noise and pops but NO skips or warps.
G/F/B  =  Barely listenable, if at all - records I wouldn't buy or sell unless they were VERY rare.


Additional (+/-) signs [i.e. VG++ / EXC-] in grading represent subtler differences, or a "lean" towards a higher or lower grade.
Records with soft quiet passages (i.e. some Jazz, Classical, Acoustic music) are MUCH more susceptible to damage than louder rock records.
In general, MONOPHONIC records from the 50s & 60s are MUCH less susceptible to damage than STEREOPHONIC pressings
