John Lennon/Yoko Ono: An Autographed Copy Of The Album Unfinished Music No.1: Two Virgins,1968, Apple APCOR 2, mono, black inner sleeve, back cover with Made In Merrie England text, the front cover signed and inscribed by John and Yoko in black ink, To John love John X Yoko X, also with an inventory number label in John Peel's hand, together with a note written to John Peel by John Lennon in black ink, Dear John - this isn't the proper master cut - its in stereo really but here it is anyway love JohnFootnotesJohn Peel's association with the Beatles dated back to the early 1960s. Peel had moved to the U.S. in 1960 and so, with his Liverpudlian background and accent, was well placed when Beatlemania hit in 1963/64. He was taken on as a Beatles 'expert' by a radio station in Dallas and he later attended a Beatles press conference when working for a station in Oklahoma City. Peel returned to England in 1967 and began broadcasting for the 'pirate' station Radio London. The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album, released in June that year, had a strong impact on Peel, and it became a feature on the playlist for his short-lived 'Perfumed Garden' show. He developed a particular friendship with John Lennon and he was a guest on Peel's late-night BBC show, 'Night Ride', in December 1968, a show focussed on the less mainstream aspects of late 60s' underground culture. The Two Virgins album, released in November 1968, caused something of a furore at the time, featuring John Lennon and Yoko Ono naked on the front and back covers, the photographs taken by John with a time-lapse camera. John had originally met Yoko in 1966 at her exhibition at London's Indica Gallery and had subsequently kept in touch with her. In May 1968, whilst John's wife Cynthia was away on holiday in Greece, John invited Yoko to his home in Weybridge and the pair spent the night compiling this collection of avant-garde/experimental recordings. The Beatles' record company, EMI, strongly objected to the album cover and refused to produce it (it was printed by another company, Technik) but they did press the record. The album was not a commercial success, receiving negative reviews by both the music press and public alike and UK pressings were extremely limited.
