Secure an essential piece of British rock history with this vintage 1976 UK reissue of The Beatles' controversial 7-inch single "The Ballad Of John And Yoko" (Catalogue No. R 5786), complete with its green Apple Records label.

Distributed across the UK as a key component of the highly collectible The Singles Collection 1962-1970 box set, this specific variation features the lighter Green Apple label design omitting the "Sold in U.K." text. This pressing retains its intact 4-pronged push-out centre and comes housed in the distinctive green flipback card picture sleeve, which features a classic promotional photograph of the band on the reverse side.

The A-side features the uptempo, autobiographical studio track "The Ballad Of John And Yoko", a fascinating piece of Fab Four trivia as it was recorded entirely by just John Lennon and Paul McCartney. On the flip side, the B-side delivers "Old Brown Shoe", a brilliant, driving studio track written by George Harrison that highlights the full band's tight musical integration during their late-1960s studio sessions.

We have carefully graded the overall condition of this mid-70s release as VG+/EX. The green picture sleeve remains crisp with only a few tiny spots of faint discolouration on the back panel, whilst the vinyl record itself is in excellent, clean condition. For matrix variant collectors, Side A features the stamped first-master runout 7XCE 21306-1U KT 21 GLM, whilst Side B displays the 7XCE 21307-2 KT 2 O stamping.
