Description
George Harrison - Somewhere In England (1980 : Dark Horse Records : DHK 3492 : US Promotional Copy) One of the many 'Holy Grails' for Beatles collectors. This is the original rejected version of Somewhere In England that George submitted to Warner Brothers executives in 1980. As the story goes, they rejected four of the songs and asked George to record for replacements. In the meantime, John Lennon was shot dead and the album came out the following year. The four unreleased tracks are Flying Hour, Sat Singing, Lay His Head and Tears of the world, the replacement tracks were All Those Years Ago, Blood From A Clone, Teardrops and That What I Have Lost. For the full story check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somewhere_in_England Very few acetates and very few promo copies were pressed. This includes the artwork that was also rejected. THE COVER The cover is in near mint condition with a slight crease and corner scuff at the top left hand corner. VINYL The disc is in near mint condition with slight evidence of being removed from its sleeve THE LABEL The label is the cream with black printing - a draft printing that was used to stamp up a limited promo run. There is very little evidence of spindle marks and the labels are in mint condition. Low starting bid. There is also a reserve on this item. (Obviously!!!) Sensible bids only and please no time wasters. As you may appreciate, original copies of this album rarely come up due to their rarity values. Please check out my other auctions.
