french apples

Some person on ebay has listed a number of early-ish Apple Records 45 releases from France. The covers of these 45s are all pretty interesting. Let’s have a look.

The French “Get Back” sleeve leaves a bit to be desired.

The same goes for “The Long and Winding Road.”

“The Ballad of John and Yoko” looks pretty good.

The “Let It Be” is the same as the one in the States–pretty boring.

This Ringo single is fantastic-looking.

I’ve posted this cover before but it is hot enough to warrant a second look.

While I was looking at these I noticed that some dirtbag was trying to sell an ad clipped from an old issue of Cash Box for $20.00. The ad is pretty great though.

Also, some Beatles photo blog that I follow recently published this gem. My goodness, I’d do anything to own this. It’s almost upsetting to me that I don’t have this.

UPDATE: That ad sold for $66.00.

This guy was, like, my parent’s age. I had no idea that he was that old. I guess I don’t spend too much time thinking about him though.
