Description

Beatles Related - Plastic Ono Band Live Peace in Toronto 1969 RIAA Gold Album. Presented to bass guitarist and Beatles collaborator Klaus Voorman to commemorate the sale of more than $1 million worth of John Lennon and Yoko Ono's live album. The album was intended as a soundtrack recording for D.A. Pennebaker's documentary movie Sweet Toronto. Lennon and Ono made a deal with Pennebaker to license their portion of the show for record, in exchange for rights to include their appearance. Unfortunately the deal fell through, as Lennon had been ill the day of the concert and it showed on camera. The movie was shelved until Showtime presented their performance in the 1980s, and the full movie has since appeared on home video and DVD. Though the LP failed to chart in the UK, it was a hit in the US, reaching #10 and going gold. The award is framed to an overall size of 17.5" x 21.5" and in Excellent condition with some mild wear to the frame.
