ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING
FACTORY SEALED COPY 

JOHN LENNON / PLASTIC ONO BAND

ULTRA RARE 4½" x 1" DAY-GLO
NEON RED "FOR ADULTS ONLY
NOT FOR AIRPLAY" WARNING STICKER 

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Incredibly rare still factory sealed copy of John Lennon's first solo studio album with an ultra rare 4½" X 1" Day-Glo neon red "FOR ADULTS ONLY NOT FOR AIRPLAY" warning sticker. When this album was released in the UK, EMI Records made sure that each "f**cking" in the "Working Class Hero" was bowdlerized through the use of asterisks on the inner sleeve. However, despite Capitol Records' concerns, in the US the album didn't undergo any censorship. The lyrics printed on the inner sleeve still contained "f**cking" in "Working Class Hero" and "c**k" in "I Found Out" (Please see a stock photo of the profanities located on the inner sleeve of my other opened copy). For this particular reason, this rarest warning sticker could be found affixed to the shrink wrap of the album's front cover. According to Perry Cox, he has seen this sticker on this album only a few times throughout the years.  

★

The album is in amazing Mint condition only with the top right corner having a very light bumping. The fully intact shrink wrap with original breathe holes, one on each side, doesn't have any splits, tears or missing pieces, just only some very light shelf wear.
