John Lennon Sings the Great Rock & Roll Hits album. Disc is mint, cover exhibits very light rubbing, some separation along the top edge, and a ding in the top right corner. Otherwise known as the Roots album, the unauthorized release of Lennon's Rock & Roll album was sold on television before being withdrawn three days later in January 1975, hence the scarcity and desirability amongst collectors. Lennon rush-released Rock & Roll the next month. This is the rare first version of the album. RRAuction COA.
