Notes about this particular release :
Presented on this album are Lennon's rough mixes of what became his "Rock & Roll" album. The release of this mail order album in January 1975 resulted in Lennon stepping up the process of releasing "Rock & Roll" a month later.
The following law suit was resolved in favor of Capitol Records and John Lennon. Production of this LP was halted and about 300 copies survive.
This is the criteria to verify an original pressing:1) If any copy has the word GREATEST (instead of GREAT) printed on the spine-it's a fake.2) Original covers are manufactured with white posterboard. If any copy has a paste on cover slicks-it's a fake...beware some counterfeits have copied the white posterboard construction.3) On the cover, if you cannot see the pink flesh on John Lennon's shoulder-its a fake Many counterfeits use a slightly enlarged copy of the front cover which cuts out the shoulder.4) If the letters in the word STEREO (in the bottom right corner of the cover) run together-its a fake.All originals have the word STEREO printed in separate letters.5) On the back cover, the printing on the little album covers in the advertisment are legible, This is not to say they are perfectly clear because the print is really small. Every counterfeit that I have seen has the print absolutely unreadable.6) If The record is unusually thick piece of vinyl-its a fake. Remember, original copies of this record were pressed in 1975, vinyl records were not pressed with the same heavy, thick vinyl as they were in the 1960's.7) if the label on the record is unusually large compared to a standard 1970's pressing-its a fake. 8) If the trail off area of the record does not have a machine stamp BELL SOUND-its a fake. But beware some counterfeits do have BELL SOUND stamped in the dead wax.9)There is one definitive thing that separates the originals from the fakes..All original copies have the matrix number of A 8018 pressed into Side 1 Label. No counterfeits have this feature.This being said, this copy meets all the criteria to identify an original pressing
