An Apple Records catalogue issued to dealers listing various releases dating from the company's inception in 1968 until 1971. This volume offers a snapshot into Apple when they were still functioning as a "regular" record label before the company became preoccupied with managing the Beatles' back catalogue. In this period of tim…e the company signed short-lived Welsh band Badfinger and issued James Taylor's debut record. Apple Corps was initially formed for tax purposes, just before the death of the Beatles's manager Brian Epstein, an event which also inspired a move to self-management. In a 1968 interview on The Tonight Show John Lennon explained, "our accountant came up and said 'We got this amount of money. Do you want to give it to the government or do something with it?' So we decided to play businessmen for a bit because we've got to run our own affairs now. So we've got this thing called Apple which is going to be records, films, and electronics - which all tie up". Though unmarked as such, this catalogue comes from the estate of Ringo Starr's former manager, Hilary Gerrard (1933-2023). Loosely inserted is a mail-out from Apple Records. The Tonight Show, 14 May 1968. Folio. Coloured pages in white, grey, purple, and green, 3 card dividers. Original plastic lock binding, lettering to spine and wrappers in green, Apple logo to front wrapper in black and green. Wrappers rubbed, a little creased and nicked at extremities, 55 mm closed tear to head of front joint. A very good copy.

Poster. Condition: Very near Fine. First and only edition. 20" x 28" or 50.8 cm x 71.12 cm. Poster. Black coated paper printed in white. With the cover of the Let it Be album enlarged and in a white border. With the Apple records logo printed in red below the enlarged album cover, next to the statement, "Manufactured by Apple Re…cords, Inc.". States "Printed in the U.S.A." in tiny font on the bottom left side of the poster. Augsburger, Eck, & Rann 1130 (the third edition of the bibliography). A lovely example of this item, intended to advertise the Beatles' final record, Let it Be. Very minimal surface wear to the poster, and a small ink number, "10 ¢", written on the verso, this copy was likely part of a group of remainders that the record company could not sell or dispose of.
