Offered for sale is a still sealed original U.S. pressing of Unfinished Music No. 2: Life With the Lions by John Lennon and Yoko Ono.

About this copy: This copy of Life With the Lions is an original U.S. pressing on the Zapple label.

As the album is still sealed, the record is presumably new and unplayed.

The wrap is fully intact with no rips, tears, or holes.

A beautiful copy of one of the harder John Lennon albums to find.

Background: Released in May 1969, Unfinished Music No. 2: Life With the Lions was the second solo album by John Lennon, accompanied by his then-girlfriend, Yoko Ono.

The album contained no music per se, and was rather avant garde in its presentation.  The album reached #174 on the U.S. album charts, did not chart in the UK, and was soon deleted.

The album was quite rare at one time, but a small quantity of sealed copies was found in a warehouse in the early 1980s.

Allmusic.com gave Unfinished Music No. 2: Life With the Lions this review:

John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s second collaborative album consists of five tracks: all of side one is taken up by “Cambridge 1969,” a live recording at Lady Mitchell Hall in Cambridge of Lennon playing an electric guitar backup to Ono’s singing and screaming. Side two includes an a cappella rendering by Ono of “No Bed for Beatle John,” which discusses the refusal of a hospital to give Lennon a bed so he could stay during his wife’s troubled pregnancy; “Baby’s Heartbeat,” which is what it says it is; “Two Minutes Silence” in commemoration of Ono’s miscarriage, which is also what it says it is; and “Radio Play,” 12 minutes of a radio dial being turned back and forth to pick up random stations.
