This is a first press LP by John Lennon called Imagine, released in the UK by Apple Records in 1971.
The vinyl is very nice with some faint marks. VG/VG+
Printed inner: there is some yellowing around the edges, feathering along the open edge and some corner/edge wear. There are small splits on all three closed edges. VG
Sleeve - The laminated outer sleeve has some light corner/edge wear, a light pen mark along the open edge on the front, some feathering on the open edge and very slight shelf wear. EX
Poster - the poster is very nice with only some very slight surface discolouration and heavier discolouration along the folds. I don't think the poster has ever been opened except to check condition. VG+
Postcard - is exceptional. From the front, it is almost mint. There are a couple small marks on the back
