                                 BEATLES "LET IT BE"

                         PXS 1 BOX SET

"LET IT BE" WAS THE BEATLES THIRTEENTH AND LAST U.K ALBUM RELEASE BEFORE THEIR UNTIMELY SPLIT, IT WAS ALSO THE SOUNDTRACK TO THEIR FOURTH FILM.

"LET IT BE" WAS SALVAGED FROM AN ORIGINAL PROJECT WHICH WAS TO BE CALLED "GET BACK". AN ALBUM OF THAT NAME WAS DUE TO HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN AUGUST 1969 BUT THE BEATLES CANCELLED IT AND IT WAS LATER DECIDED TO TIE IN A BOOK, FILM AND ALBUM UNDER THE TITLE "LET IT BE".

RELEASED 8TH MAY 1970 "LET IT BE" WAS FIRST ISSUED AS A SPECIAL BOX SET PACKAGE.... PXS 1..... ALTHOUGH THIS NUMBER DOES NOT APPEAR ANYWHERE ON THE RECORD OR PACKAGING..... IT WAS PURELY FOR ORDERING PURPOSES. DESIGNED BY JOHN KOSH THE SPECIAL BOX SET WAS ONLY AVAILABLE FOR A SHORT TIME BEFORE "LET IT BE" WAS RELEASED AS AN ALBUM ONLY.

THE DARK GREEN APPLE LABELS TO BOTH SIDES ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION WITH ABSOLUTELY NO UNWANTED MARKS OR WRITING. LABELS APPEAR TO HAVE JUST VERY LIGHT BUT MINOR SPINDLE MARKS PRESENT!!!!  LABELS ARE CLEAN AND RETAIN THEIR ORIGINAL LUSTRE.

THE GLOSSY VINYL IS SUPERB WITH JUST VERY MINIMAL LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL SURFACE MARKS AND THE ODD VERY LIGHT HAIRLINE, IT HAS TO BE STRESSED THAT THESE ARE MINIMAL AND ONLY REALLY VISIBLE UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT..

SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB WITH NO DISTORTION TO AUDIO.

COMPLETE WITH ORIGINAL INNER WHICH IS EXCELLENT.

THE "GARROD AND LIFEHOUSE" SLEEVE IS EXCELLENT. IT DISPLAYS SOME CREASING TO BOTH FRONT AND BACK AND SOME  CORNER AND EDGE WEAR . THE SPINE ALTHOUGH STILL RIGID DOES SHOW SOME WEAR. THE SLEEVE IS CLEAN AND SHINY WITH NO LAMINATE LIFT AND IS FREE FROM ANY WRITING E.T.C.... SLEEVE CARRIES THE "RED APPLE" LOGO

THE OUTER LAMINATED SLIP SLEEVE IS AGAIN EXCELLENT WITH JUST  LIGHT CREASING, THE USUAL EDGE WEAR AND JUST LIGHT SIGNS OF HANDLING. IT IS INTACT AND AGAIN FREE FROM MARKS, HOWEVER IT DOES HAVE A SMALL NAME WRITTEN ON REAR BUT I SHOULD STRESS TAHT THIS IS NOT HIGHLY VISIBLE AND DOESNT DETER FROM OVERALL APPEARANCE. 

THE "GET BACK" BOOK IS IN GREAT CONDITION. IT IS ALSO INTACT AND ALL PAGES ARE STILL INTACT (IT IS VERY COMMON FOR THESE TO COME LOOSE) THE BOOK SHOWS JUST VERY LIGHT SIGNS OF HANDLING AND DOES DISPLAY A FEW LIGHT CREASES TO BOTH FRONT AND REAR AND HAS SOME MINOR EDGE AND CORNER WEAR,HOWEVER THE PAGES THEMSELVES ARE CLEAN AND SHOW LITTLE SIGN OF HANDLING, THE BOOK  IS  CLEAN AND IS ALSO FREE FROM WRITING E.T.C.

THE FLIMSY OUTER TRAY HAS SURVIVED QUITE WELL, IT DOES HAVE SOME EDGE AND CORNER WEAR PARTICULARLY TO ONE SIDE  IT ALSO DISPLAYS THE USUAL RUBBING MARKS FROM TRAY BEEN REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE. HOWEVER THE TRAY IS INTACT AND OVERALL IT IS STILL VERY GOOD.

THE INNER TRAY WHICH IS EQUALLY AS FLIMSY AS THE OUTER HAS ALSO SURVIVED REALLY WELL. IT AGAIN DISPLAYS THE SAME RUBBING MARKS BUT AGAIN THIS IS REALLY GOOD GIVEN AGE.... NEITHER TRAY TENDED TO SURVIVE THAT WELL.

OVERALL THIS IS A REALLY GREAT EXAMPLE OF THIS MUCH SOUGHT AFTER BOX SET WHICH IS COMPLETE IN EVERYWAY AND WHICH OFFERS SUPERB VINYL WHICH DELIVERS SUPERB AUDIO.
