1971 grammy win

Posted on December 6, 2010 | 4 comments

Through the magic of youtube I present Paul and Linda McCartney accepting from John Wayne the 1971 Grammy Award for the Best Original Score for a Motion Picture for Let It Be. Paul and Linda had just finished work on the Ram LP and it might be worth pointing out that he’s wearing the same shirt that he wore when the below photo was taken. Therefore it’s the same shirt that he wore in the photo that was featured on the sleeve of various international versions of the Another Day and Eat at Home 45s that have long been a fixation here.

Today we’ll take a look at the always amazing Apple Records 45 sleeves from around the world (with a focus on John and Yoko). All of these images are taken from ebay. Above we have a Stand By Me from Japan. 1975. (Below is from Germany and below that Portugal.)

The French 45 of Yoko’s Mrs. Lennon. 1971.

Japan.

The front and back of Plastic Ono Band’s Power to the People 45. Israel. 1971.

Japan.

France. (familiar image)

Yoko’s Now or Never. France. 1973.

Mind Games. Japan. 1973.

Yoko’s No No No. U.S. 1981. (Not on Apple.)

The Beatles. Ballad of John and Yoko. Portugal. 1969.

Whatever Gets You thru the Night. Germany. 1974.

Instant Karma! Japan. 1970.

Imagine. Japan. 1971. (Though this release seems to be from well after that–possibly 1975. Possibly later.)

Be-Bop-A-Lula. 1975. (Looks like a reissue to me and not on Apple.)

Nobody Told Me. U.S. 1984. (Not on Apple.)

Happy Xmas (War Is Over). Japan. 1971.

Here’s a mind-blowing Give Peace A Chance 45 from Israel that uses a pic of The Fabs instead of The Plastic Ono Band. Amazing! 1969.

(Who wore it best? I say Clapton)

Plastic Ono Band. Then: 1969

Now: Last night. (Unfortunately I couldn’t find a pic with Kim, Thurston, Yoko and Gaga.)

Update: Pitchfork had one this morning that leaves a lot to be desired. (That’s Thurston on the far left.)
