BRUTE FORCE
KING OF FUH / NOBODY KNOWS
APPLE 8 A2 / B2
1969 UNRELEASED APPLE SINGLE
HEAVY PRESSING
***MINT CONDITION***
This item has been relisted due to a silly mistake in the original listing, I forgot to add The Beatles into the listing title and as I was adamant that this rare gem was to be auctioned to the widest possible audience giving everybody a chance I had no choice but to re-start the auction.
This auction is for the rarest apple single on the planet by Brute Force "King of Fuh". Produced by The Tokens and endorsed by both John Lennon and George Harrison who added the string arrangement, the single was set to be one of Apples first releases but E.M.I Apples distributor decided that the repeated use of the words "Fuh King" within the song was too risque for there image and decided not to release the single instead Apple chose to press just 2000 copies for themselves but these were never on public sale.
~
This single never comes up for sale and due to the fact that it was never released to the public it is said to be much rarer than The Beatles Love me Do demo, so it is set as one of, if not the most sought after of collectors records in the world today. A true investment.
The weight of this single is unlike any other as it is very heavy and pressed on extremely thick vinyl it almost has an acetate feel about it and when it is in MINT condition such as this one it is an honour to be able to auction.
CONDITION ~
Both sides of the vinyl are completly unmarked and show NO signs of play it is simply immaculate. Side A has the machine stamped Apple 8 A2 with no other stampers and side B has Apple 8 B2 again machine stamped with no other stampers, as this single was never set for a mass market it was never properly cataloged.
The labels again are incredible with NO signs of previous use, they do have a strange crinkley effect in the center but this was the same on all of them and was done at the time of pressing this only adds to it's authenticity.
The vinyl is housed in an immaculate Apple company sleeve which is in obsurdly MINT condition, how this sleeve and vinyl have been kept in this condition is a mystery, it is as if it has been kept in a vault all these years. It is a true gem and one that will quite possibly NEVER come up for sale in this condition ever again.
~
I simply cannot stress enough just how rare this single is even here on Ebay there has only been three or four for sale in the last 10 years and from my research there has NEVER been an example as IMACULATE as this one up for auction.
