JOHN LENNON Imagine UK Export LP Gold Sticker BEATLES

$

208

JOHN LENNON "Imagine" LP. This is something I have never seen before. This is clearly a UK pressed Imagine album for export.  I have never seen anything like this documented or for sale.
I'd love to hear from anyone who may be able to provide more information.

Points to note:

1. It has the legendary Parophone red and gold sticker seen on Beatles export albums.

2. It has an usual oval shaped front sticker "manufactured under CARIFTA regulations".  CARIFTA was a free tarde agreement signed between the Uk and the carribean in 1965. So perhaps this was exported to the Carribean?

3. Labels state Mfd In UK.

4. Cover is same as UK covers.

5. Vinyl is very thin and light ,  unlike standard UK pressed issues. I weighed kit and it's about 100 grams.

6. Matrix details side 1:  YEX 865 - 1U  porky     1 stamper

7. Matrix details side 2   YEX 866 - 1U   pecko    2 stamper

CONDITION:

VINYL: VG  scuffs and light scratches, not deep or feelable.

COVER: VG . Has suffered creasing from poor handling and storage over the years, but has no seam split.

Spine has perhaps 12 'pinches, and the word john lennon and apple has 'broken' and have some letters missing. 

Top and bottom edge have fared better.   It may not show in pics.

Front cover , in the white cloud area by "imagine" on front cover, the imprint of a name that was once written, and erased/cleaned off, leaving just an imprint and a duller patch in the laminate.

LABELS:  Side A has a faint sticker mark, side b has a name that has been erased - just above the spindle, which has left a white area - not taht noticeable, I missed it at first glance but it is there.

Have uploaded many and large photos for you to view.


POSTAGE: Standard International Airmail Post Worldwide is $14.00 (less for Australia). (not $4.00) (I am in New Zealand not USA). Please wait for invoice.

I pack well, keep proof of mailing, but cannot be responsible for lost or damaged packages if buyer does not elect insurance ($6). High value items may require insurance.


I use Record Collector Grades of M / EX / VG / G
