**************************************************
A VERY VERY RARE GEORGE HARRISON LP RELEASE THAT SOLD IN VERY SMALL QUANTITIES WHEN IT WAS RELEASED BACK IN 1969. RELEASED ON APPLE'S SUBSIDIARY LABEL "ZAPPLE". IN FACT IT WAS THE SECOND AND LAST RELEASE ON THIS LABEL, LENNON'S "LIFE WITH THE LIONS" WAS FIRST RELEASE. THE LABEL WAS DESIGNED AS A "PAPERBACK BOOK" CONCEPT THAT WAS MEANT TO BE PLAYED A COUPLE OF TIMES THEN THROWN AWAY. A COOL IDEA, BUT COMMERCIALLY IT WASN'T GOING TO WORK, ESPECIALLY AVANT - GARDE MUSIC AT FULL RETAIL PRICES. MR.KLEIN PULLED THE PLUG ON THIS AND OTHER "PROJECTS" THAT WAS LOSING MONEY.
WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS NOT YOUR NORMAL POP ALBUM, BUT AN EXPERIMENT IN DIFFERENT SOUNDS THAT COULD BE PLAYED BACK USING HIS NEW TOY...THE MOOG SYNTHESISER!! THIS SOUNDS REALLY WEIRD BUT COMPELLING. DR.WHO, TOMORROW PEOPLE, BLAKES SEVEN FEATURE SNIPPETS OF THIS STYLE IN THE BACKGROUND...SOMEWHERE!!!
THIS INSTRUMENT WASN'T JUST A CASIO OR YAMAHA KEYBOARD BUT A GIANT INSTRUMENT THAT NEEDED PROGRAMMING AND SWITCHING AND LOOKS LIKE ONE OF THOSE OLD ANALOGUE SWITCHBOARDS THAT TELEPHONE OPERATORS USED TO USE.THESE MONSTERS NEEDED A LONGGGG TIME TO PROGRAMME....HAVE A LISTEN SOMETIME!!!
******************************************
THIS IS A BRILLIANT COPY!!!
1G / 1G...FIRST STAMPERS
VINYL STILL HAS ITS LOVELY SHEEN AND THE LABELS ARE NEAR MINT, THIS ALBUM HAS NOT BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL. HAS THE ORIGINAL OUTER SLEEVE WITH THE ICONIC ARTWORK! IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY, BOTTOM LEFT ON THE FRONT UNDER "PRODUCED BY GEORGE HARRISON" YOU WILL SEE THE NAME THAT IS CROSSED OUT .."ASSISTED BY BERNIE KRAUSE"....HE CLAIMED TO HAVE BEEN TAPED DEMONSTRATING THE MOOG AND THIS WAS "NO TIME OR SPACE" ..THE WHOLE OF SIDE 2! MMMM, I'M NOT SURE IF I WANTED TO DISASSOCIATE MYSELF WITH THE BEATLES...HOW TERRIBLY UNCOOL!!!
THESE EARLY PRESSED SLEEVES WERE ALL PRINTED LIKE THAT!!
*****************************************
LABELS......NEAR MINT
VINYL.........EXCELLENT (there is 2 marks on side one that produces a few pops..otherwise would have graded excellent ++).

OUTER SLEEVE....EXCELLENT ( some creases, around the corners and some slight ringwear.), SLEEVE STILL KEEPS ITS LOVELY GLOSSY LOOK AND FEEL. THE SPINE IS WHOLE AND UNSPOILT.
