WEDDING ALBUM APPLE SMAX-3361 ISSUED: 10/20/69 APPLE LABEL WITH ZAPPLE LOGO. SEVEN MONTHS AFTER THE FACT, JOHN AND YOKO CELEBRATED THEIR MARRIAGE BY RELEASING THIS SPECIAL LP. A SUPER-DELUXE BOXED-SET PACKAGE, IS COMPLETE WITH BIRTH CERTIFICATE, PLASTIC PHOTO OF A WEDDING CAKE, A BOOK OF NEWSPAPER AND PRESS CLIPPINGS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD DENOTING THEIR VARIOUS ESCAPADES, A PHOTO STRIP, A POSTCARD, AND 2 POSTERS OF PHOTOGRAPHS AND LITHOGRAPHS. THE ENTIRE PACKAGE WAS BEAUTIFULLY ASSEMBLED, AND WAS QUITE AN IMPRESSIVE SOUVENIR. THE ALBUM ITSELF FEATURED ONE SIDE ON WHICH JOHN AND YOKO EACH REPEAT THE OTHER'S NAME FOR TWENTY-THREE MINUTES, WHILE THE OTHER SIDE OFFERED BITS AND PIECES OF INTERVIEWS AND CONVERSATIONS FROM THEIR BED-IN IN AMSTERDAM. THE MERE GIGANTIC PHYSICAL SIZE OF THE BOXED-SET CAUSED MANY RECORD STORES TO PASS ON IT AT THE TIME, AND THE PUBLIC'S UNCERTAINTY ABOUT THE WHOLE EFFORT WAS REFLECTED IN THE CHARTS. TWO SETS OF FACTORY SHRINKWRAP 'BREATH' HOLES ARE EVIDENT ON EACH OF THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE BOX. CORNER TO CORNER, THIS IS A VIRTUALLY PERFECT STILL SEALED EXAMPLE.
