Add to your vinyl collection with a distinct 1976 UK reissue of The Beatles' historic "The Ballad Of John And Yoko" 7-inch 45 RPM single (Catalogue No. R 5786), featuring the timeless Apple Records branding.

This particular mid-seventies variant was issued as part of the esteemed The Singles Collection 1962-1970 box set series. The record showcases the lighter Green Apple label design, manufactured without the "Sold in U.K." text statement, and preserves its original 4-pronged push-out centre. It is presented in the authentic green flipback card picture sleeve, which features a vintage portrait of the band across the back cover.

On the A-side, the band delivers the fast-paced, journalistic studio track "The Ballad Of John And Yoko", famously cut in the studio by only John Lennon and Paul McCartney. The flip side features "Old Brown Shoe", a sharp, energetic studio recording written by George Harrison that perfectly demonstrates the complete line-up's incredible musical synergy during their final years in the studio.

The overall condition of this vintage item is graded as VG/EX. The green card sleeve exhibits some visible ringwear on the reverse side, whilst the vinyl disc remains in excellent, highly glossy condition. This pressing will really appeal to matrix collectors, featuring the desirable first-master "-1U" stamps on both sides (Side A: 7XCE 21306-1U KT 21 GTD; Side B: 7XCE 21307-1U KT 01 GHP).
