THE BEATLES
LET IT BE
1970 BOX SET
PCS 7096 STEREO
A COMPLETE SET WITH SOME UNUSUAL CHARACTERISTICS AND RECORD IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
THE VINYL IS A 2U/ 3U MATRIX FROM 1970 IN SUPERB CONDITION AND WITH EXCELLENT AUDIO. THE VINYL RETAINS A MIRROR-LIKE GLOSSY SHEEN WITH NO MARKS, SCUFFS, SCRATCHES, WARPS, NEEDLE DROPS ETC. THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF FEINT BARLEY VISIBLE HAIRLINES ON EITHER SIDE THAT DO NOT DETRACT FROM ITS SUPERB VISIBLE APPEARANCE AND DO NOT CAUSE ANY AUDIBLE DETRACTIONS. IT PLAYS SMOOTHLY AND LUCIDLY THROUGHOUT WITH NO INTERFERENCE OTHER THAN THE OCCASIONAL STATIC-TYPE TIC IN THE TRACK CHANGES AND IN ONE OR TWO OF THE FADE-IN'S AND FADE-OUT'S INEVITABLE DUE TO AGE. THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ITS LUSTRE AND LOOKS TO BE SELDOM PLAYED AND GRADES EXCELLENT AND PLAY GRADES AS EXCELLENT TOO.
THE VINYL WAS LIKELY TO BE PRESSED ON AN OLDER TYPE PRESSING MACHINE SINCE IT HAS A DOUBLE-RINGED LABEL WHICH WERE ALSO STAMPED SLIGHTLY OFF-CENTRE. THIS IS VERY RARE TO SEE. STAMPERS 1 MT & 2 RRD.
THE SLEEVE IS IN VERY GOOD PLUS CONDITION. VERY GLOSSY, NO EDGE WEAR, VERY NEAT, MINOR CREASES EMINATING FROM SPINE EDGE AND A COUPLE OF THUMBNAIL CREASES ONLY. NO LAMINATE LIFTING, STRAIGHT EDGES AND CORNERS.
PATENTS PENDING INNER SLEEVE AND POSTER IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
SLIP CASE IS IN GOOD PLUS CONDITION. THIS IS A RARER TYPE ONE HAVING AN ALMOST SEPIA TONE TO THE PICTORIAL OF THE BEATLES, NORMALLY COMING WITH A BRIGHTER CONTRAST. THERE IS A FAIR AMOUNT OF SHELF-WEAR BUT IT IS STRUCTURALLY SOUND. THE OUTER TRAY IS IN VERY GOOD PLUS CONDITION HAVING MINOR EDGE WEAR AND THE INNER TRAY IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. ALL HOLDS TOGETHER AND SLIPS IN TIGHTLY AND NEATLY.
THE BOOK IS THE 1ST ISSUE TYPE. GENERALLY THOUGHT TO COME IN THREE VARIATIONS, THIS IS THE 1ST VARIATION HAVING PASTED CREDITS. THE BOOK IS IN VERY GOOD PLUS CONDITION. IT IS FIRM AND INTACT. A FEW PAGES ARE BECOMING DETACHED AT THIER TOP CORNER AS SHOWN BUT ARE OTHERWISE HELD IN PLACE WELL TO SPINE AS IS THE REST OF THE BOOK. A VERY NEAT EXAMPLE OF A RARE BOOK.
ALL IN ALL I WOULD SAY A VERY NICE NOVELTY VARIATION OF THE BOX SET WITH GREAT AUDIO.
I CAN PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION AND PHOTOS ON REQUEST.
WILL BE EXTREMELY WELL PROTECTED FOR DELIVERY, SPECIAL DELIVERY IN U.K. OR TRACKED OVERSEAS POSTAGE.
