JOHN LENNON: Imagine (Apple, PAS 10004, 1971, LP)
Nice early copy with inner sleeve and photo lampooning Paul McCartney's Ram LP sleeve. The sleeve has the interior glued flipback coming from rear of sleeve and affixed to the inside front as per early copies.
I know one of the guitarists on 'Gimme Some Truth' and 'Oh Yoko!' 'Tis true. He's only credited as "Andy" on the inner sleeve, but this is Andy Davis, then with Stackridge. The call went out to the John Sherry Organisation (quite why to them is a mystery lost in the mists of time) to see if there were any acoustic guitarists around that could go and add a Badfinger style big guitar sound at the Imagine sessions. Those who got the message were Andy, Ted Turner (Wishbone Ash), Rod Lynton, and John Tout (Renaissance - and, yes, I know he's was their pianist, but he plays acoustic guitar here). John Sherry was agent for all these musician's current bands at this point.
See photographs for sleeve, inner sleeve and photo conditions. All nice enough. Record plays at EX. A nice copy altogether.
*    *    *    * Records generally have hairline marks from going in and out of sleeves - I do not mention these unless they cause audible noise. All records are play tested unless explicitly stated otherwise. Most of the records I am selling play at "Excellent" or "Very Good" as per Record Collector grading. Any specific defects are otherwise described in the listing. Please look at the photos carefully for condition of sleeves/labels. 
All items won, up to a value of £50.00, will be sent as Royal Mail 'signed for'. If items are bid above £50.00 (or multiple items combine to more than £50), they will be sent as Royal Mail Special Delivery, so that parcels are correctly insured against loss or damage in transit. If you win multiple items, please wait for me to invoice with correct postage. Note that the postage costs stated include packaging costs. Where possible, packaging will be recycled but sturdy/secure.
Combined postage *for UK buyers only* - 6 single LPs costs the same to post as 1 single LP. Note that if you win items in multiple formats, (e.g., an LP and a CD), these have to be sent as multiple parcels (though I can bundle up 7" records with an LP).
*Non-UK bidders* please note that I use eBay's Global Shipping Programme, which means every item won has to be packaged and sent separately so combined postage is not possible.
Non-paying high bidders will be blocked from bidding on future items.
*    *    *    * Unless stated otherwise, all items are from my own collection. Most has been in storage for nearly 20 years. Lockdowns made me wonder why I have multiple copies of records that I will never listen to. There are about 8,000 more items to come from my rambling progressive, jazz fusion, folk, blues, 1950s stereo classical and easy listening, psychedelic, reggae, ambient, spoken word, comedy, railway, field recordings, electronic and occasionally just plain 'out there' collection.
