Delaney & Bonnie - Accept No Substitute (1969)

This record never officially saw the day of light. It was planned, but Elektra sticked to their contract and released it accordingly. Apple Records only pressed a few 'Advance-Vinyl' copies, today a sought after issue.
Covers were never manufactured.
In early 1969 Delaney & Bonnie signed to Elektra Records to record their second album 'Accept No Substitutes', the album was recorded at Elektra's Recording Studio, however on hearing pre-release tapes of this album George Harrison offered the group a contract with Apple Records, which the group accepted despite already been contracted to Elektra.
Apple's plan was to release Delaney & Bonnie's second album 'Accept No Substitutes' but under the title of 'Delaney & Bonnie & Friends' and accordingl to Elektra Records co-founder Jac Holzman Apple Got as far as starting production of the album using some of, if not all the original Elektra Recordings before Elektra declared Apple's contract void and the pressing was subsequently stopped.
Elektra Records did eventually release the album 'Accept No Substitudes' later in 1996 and any copies that had already been produced by Apple Records were never made available for sale!
