Here's a beautiful copy of John Lennon's third solo single, which, as a marvelous article in Wikipedia points out, was one of the fastest records ever to be written, recorded, pressed, and shipped to market -- reportedly in only 10 days. It's also one of Lennon's very best solo recordings, though it (and the two singles that preceded it) never appeared on a Lennon studio album (they did appear on a later compilation LP). The drumming is simply out of this world, and turns out to be by future Yes drummer Alan White. That's Billy Preston on the keyboards, and George Harrison on guitar. The flip is "Who Has Seen The Wind" by Yoko. I'm putting a snippet that contains some of the best drumming bits in the jukebox... just can't ever hear that break enough! Note: This copy comes in a vintage Apple Records factory sleeve. The labels have some discoloration from storage wear, but the vinyl looks untouched, and the audio is Near Mint.
