"Unfinished Music No. 2: Life With The Lions" (John Lennon and Yoko Ono, 1969, Zapple Records). this is the follow up to the first, more controversial "unfinished music" album, more commonly known as "two virgins," featuring an album cover of the couple naked. this record is a more personal (even though two virgins was apparently John and Yoko's first date) record as it features heart palpitations of the first of what would later be three miscarriages that Yoko would endure. this record was one of two records released on the offshoot of Apple Records, known as Zapple. The first record was an experimental electronic record composed by George Harrison. two other records on the zapple imprint were planned for release but as the apple label went belly up, the two later records (one record by Lawrence Ferlinghetti and another, a spoken word record by Richard Brautigan) were not released.
note: the latter of the two mentioned was actually released but the Ferlinghetti one was not. the zapple imprint was more for experimental records, in case you couldn't tell.
