8127 - John Lennon: Bell Sound Studios Mono Acetate for ‘John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band’ (1970)

John Lennon: Bell Sound Studios Mono Acetate for ‘John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band’ (1970) Double-sided 12″ U.S. Bell Sound Studios acetate of John Lennon’s debut solo studio album John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band (Apple, 1970), featuring the complete album in mono. The typed labels, marked “Apple Records,” list the full running order. Side one reads: “1. Mother, 2. Hold On John, 3. I Found Out, 4. Working Class Hero, 5. Isolation, all songs written by: John Lennon, 1970 Maclen Music Ltd.” Side two reads: “1. Remember, 2. Love, 3. Well Well Well, 4. Look At Me, 5. God, 6. My Mummy’s Dead, produced by: John & Yoko & Phil Spector.” Released on December 11, 1970, just months after the breakup of the Beatles, John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band found Lennon backed by a spare core of Ringo Starr on drums and Klaus Voormann on bass. The raw, confessional record has since come to be widely regarded as one of Lennon’s finest solo works. Condition (G+): The disc displays many light abrasions, scratches, scuffs, and marks, most of which cannot be felt. The side one label is very clean, while the side two label has a large tear that does not affect the track listing. Play-tested, it plays with some noticeable background noise and several skips across both sides.
