Brute Force 'King of Fuh' 45 RPM Record
Extremely rare withdrawn Apple Records 7Ë 45 RPM record of the Brute Force single ‘King Of Fuh / Nobody Knows.' Stamped matrix numbers on the A-side are "APPLE 8 A 2," stamped matrix numbers on the B-side are "APPLE 8 B 2." In fine condition, with wear only to the sleeve. Recording under the pseudonym 'Brute Force,' Stephen Friedland's song 'King of Fuh' came to the attention of the Beatles via Nat Weiss, a friend and confidant of Brian Epstein. The title's wordplay caught the attention of John Lennon and George Harrison, who advocated for its release by Apple. Harrison also arranged for strings to be dubbed on the track, and it was assigned catalog number "Apple 8" for release in May 1969. It was pressed in a very limited quantity and never received distribution because of the 'obscene' lyrics, making it an exceedingly rare 45 RPM record today. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks.
