THE BEATLES
"LET IT BE" RELEASED 1970 ORIGINALLY
EXPORT COPY WITH A PARLOPHONE SLEEVE INSTEAD OF AN APPLE LOGO SLEEVE AND USED FOR EXPORT PRESSINGS
THIS COPY HAS A NUMBER OF ANOMALIES
THE SLEEVE IS UNLAMINATED AND MOST UNLAMINATED BEATLES SLEEVES ARE FROM THE LATE SEVENTIES EARLY EIGHTIES
THE SEAM EDGE TEXT READS PCS 7096 USUALLY P-PCS 7096 EMI INNER SLEEVE IS DATED 1978 (10 78)
VINYL RECORD HAS VERY RARE MIXED RIM TEXT LABELS
SIDE 1 IS FROM THE LATE SEVENTIES AND HAS THE CONVENTIONAL 'HALF MOON' TEXT TOP AND BOTTOM
SIDE 2 LABEL HAS THE FULL CIRCUMFERENCE RIM TEXT WHICH INCLUDES THE ADDITION OF ''RENTING & HIRING' TEXT SYNONOMOUS WITH AN EARLY EIGHTIES PRESSING
NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE ON APPLE LABELS SO IS VERY UNUSUAL AND RARE
STAMPERS 1 & 2 ( NO LETTERS)
MATRICES -4 -3
HTM ETCHED IN THE RUN OUT GROOVES (HARRY MOSS) CUTTING ENGINEER
UNLAMINATED SLEEVE DOES HAVE SOME CREASING TO THE EDGES AND A MORE DEFINED CREASE TO THE CORNER BUT ALL TEXT AND IMAGES ARE LEGIBLE
VINYL RECORD HAS A GLOSSY FINISH TO THE SURFACES THE ODD SMALL VERY LIGHT MARK WITH LEGIBLE LABELS SIDE 1 HAS A LITTLE LABEL GLOSS LOSS IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE IN PICS BUT THOUGHT I'D MENTION IT (ITS FROM THE PRESSING PROCESS) SIDE 2 DOES HAVE A SMALL MARK IN THE CENTRE WHICH DOESN'T AFFECT THE TEXT AND DOES LOOKS LIKE A PRINTING MARK
THERE ARE VERY LIMITED SPINDLE MARKS TO EITHER SIDE
EMI WHITE INNER SLEEVE AS MENTIONED IS DATED FROM 1978 SO I THINK THE ALBUM WAS CREATED SOMETIME BETWEEN THEN AND 1984
AUDIO WAS EXCELLENT WITH QUIET RUN INS AND SPACES AND CLEAN AND CLEAR SOUND
