John Lennon

Comes from 'Hungary' vinyl LP

Shaved Fish

JOHN LENNON Shaved Fish (Rare 1975 Hungarian 12-track vinyl LP with original lyric inner, unique artwork fully laminated picture sleeve with titles in English & Hungarian. What is bizarre about this album is that it was actually pressed by Dum Dum, part of The Gramophone Company Of India. More information on this curiosity can be found in the 'More Info' section, but for now we'll leave that be. The sleeve has survived the last thirty five plus years reasonably well, with a section oflaminate loss at the opening and a bit of light edge scuffing but still remains in respectable condition. The inner is thin paper, rather than thick card & is printed by Cover & Cartons of Calcutta, and remains very good with a split, tear and a small amount of paper loss, and has been tape repaired. The vinyl displays some minor surface scuffs but nothing too heavy. A respectable, if not mint, copy of this very curious album PCS7173)

This album was pressed in India, specifically for Hungary, using EMI master plates. "Why India ?", you ask. Well ....

To survive severe government import restrictions and Foreign Exchange difficulties, EMI India had to have an extremely successful export operation. Because of this, EMI India exported records all over the world, including Eastern Europe from 1966 onward.
India had bilateral trade agreements in place with certain countries in Eastern Europe, like Hungary, so payment could be made in Indian Rupees, thus avoiding their Foreign Exchange problems.
Exports like this continued well into the mid Seventies, although as EMI opened more pressing plants around the world, demand for these Indian pressings tailed off.
Once again, you ask; "So, why India ?"
India manufactured and marketed records in over forty different languages, so were well set up for foreign pressings and their requisite font styles. That's why India.

Several thousand of these were made especially for Hungary with this unique sleeve, making it certainly one of the oddest pressings in the world.
