Sorry things have been a bit quiet lately on Dear Angie, but here’s a nice item on Ebay to break the silence. The Beatles Fan Club didn’t have any new material to offer fans as a Xmas gift in 1970, so they cobbled together a compilation of all the Beatles’ previous Christmas recordings., and gave [...]
Thanks to Han Schomakers for spotting another Apple single gone (partly) digital. Oh Bhaugowan, one of the three tracks from Ravi Shankar’s Joi Bangla E.P. (Apple 37), surfaced on CD in 1995 as part of a box set in honour of Ravi’s 75th birthday.
The set, Ravi – In Celebration, was released by Angel Records and [...]
Another interesting acetate is for sale: a seven-inch acetate of The Beatles’ Across The Universe.
Across The Universe dates from a particularly fallow period in the Beatles career, between the end of recording for Magical Mystery Tour in November 1967, and the start of White Album sessions in May 1968. During these six months, the Beatles [...]
Not much of special interest on eBay at the moment. One lucky punter just picked up the very fine and rare Ravi Shankar EP (Apple 37) for under £10: it normally goes for several times that.
In fact I saw Ravi last night at the Albert Hall, which,
for what it’s worth, brings to
four the number of [...]
They just keep on a-coming! Here’s another
Apple acetate on eBay, this time a test cutting of an album by sixties singer Clodagh Rodgers.
Not au fait with Clodagh’s career – apart from a dim
memory of Jack In The Box, which came 9th in the 1971 Eurovision Song Contest (the year after Mary Hopkin’s entry). This [...]
My good friend Ed, he of Sound Projector fame,
has just directed me to the website of groovy book dealer BeatBooks, which is currently selling none other than that same
Richard Brautigan acetatethat I mentioned last week. A snip at £2500! Here’s the lowdown selon BeatBooks:
There were probably two copies of the acetate made, with one [...]
Another piece
of the Apple jigsaw thrown up on Ebay is this 1968 single by Grapefruit, Dear Delilah/The Dead Boot (RCA 1656, 17/02/68). Pre-dating Apple Records, but not Apple Publishing,
this [...]
Even rarer than the
Delaney and Bonnie album would be a copy of Listening To Richard Brautigan. According to Barry Miles, who produced the recording,
It was given the Zapple 3 catalog number, simply because it was the most advanced in the production schedule. We had designed a sleeve for it, and I had a finished mix [...]
Here’s a continental curio that I haven’t seen before on Ebay: this Swedish copy of Que Sera Sera
. It’s another example of the 91624 release (after Mary’s Eurovision appearance) that got the catalogue in such a muddle over Apple 27 / Apple 28. Note also that the old “school photo” of Mary has [...]
For Apple L.P. collectors, a truly rare and desirable disc is currently on sale at Ebay: a copy of the unreleased Delaney and Bonnie L.P., SAPCOR 7. Bidding currently stands at £355, but is unlikely to stop there.
It’s an outstanding artefact in every way for the Apple collector. The record itself is fine evidence of [...]
