JOHN LENNON & YOKO ONO Unfinished Music No. 1: Two Virgins 
Rare Original 1968 UK 12-track Apple/Track label Stereo LP, superb nude laminated picture sleeve with black inner. The UK were a little less prudish than the US in not using a brown paperbag for the cover, but it still had to be distributed by Track rather than EMI.
The condition of the vinyl is best described as Near Mint. It is visually stunning with no noticeable scuffs or scratches.


It's rarity means that to find a copy as good as this is very hard indeed. A very nice playable final upgrade vinyl.

This copy has clearly only been played once or twice and appears virtually 'as new'. Both sides play perfectly with no hint or groove wear, crackle, pops, jumps or repeats. 100% flat on the turntable without dishing or warping.

Cover: EXCELLENT

This extremely rare mono cover is recognisable by the text is being on the 'frontal' side and the omission of the 'Photographs by John Lennon' text. Stereo covers had the text printed on the rear panel which carried the photo credit.

Constructed of very thin unlaminated card, this fragile cover has survived extremely well.

The front and rear panels display some natural age discolouration around the central image, but no creases.

The corners and opening edges are clean, with only a small bump to bottom left corner. There are no marks, tears or writing anywhere. The spine and all seams are fully intact, strong and unsplit.
