Apple Records 7″ Singles Collection (1968–1973)

A substantial collection of original UK Apple label 7-inch singles, spanning the label’s golden era from its 1968 launch through to 1973, and running almost the full early Apple catalogue from Apple 2 to Apple 47.

The collection is rich in the artists who defined Apple: multiple Mary Hopkin singles including Those Were The Days, Goodbye, Temma Harbour and Knock Knock Who’s There; Badfinger (and their earlier incarnation The Iveys) with Come And Get It, No Matter What and Day After Day; Billy Preston, Jackie Lomax, Doris Troy, James Taylor’s debut Carolina In My Mind, and the Radha Krishna Temple’s Hare Krishna Mantra and Govinda. It also takes in the John & Yoko / Plastic Ono Band sides — Give Peace A Chance, Mrs. Lennon and Death Of Samantha — plus later rarities from Elephant’s Memory, Chris Hodge and The Sundown Playboys.
