Lennon, John - Imagine - White Hot Stamper (With Issues)

*NOTE: There are 5-6 loud pops that play at times throughout the last 1/3 of track 1 on side 1, "Imagine." The first 30 seconds (approx.) of track 3, "Jealous Guy," play Mint Minus Minus to EX++. Track 3 on side 2, How Do You Sleep?," plays closer to Mint Minus Minus to EX++. *NOTE: This record was not noisy enough to rate our M-- to EX++ grade, but it's not quite up to our standards for Mint Minus Minus either. If you're looking for quiet vinyl, this is probably not the best copy for you. Both sides here are killer, capturing the essence of what Lennon and Phil Spector (and let’s not forget Yoko, who also gets a producer credit here) were going for. Copies that sound as good as this do not grow on trees. If it wasn’t ridiculously difficult to find Hot Stamper pressings of Imagine it certainly would not have taken us so long to offer another one on the site. This vintage Apple pressing has the kind of Tubey Magical Midrange that modern records can barely BEGIN to reproduce. Folks, tha
