"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.....

THE "GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE" ALBUM SLEEVE IS EXCELLENT. IT MAINTAINS ITS ORIGINAL GLOSS BUT THE SLEEVE DOES SHOW SOME  SIGNS OF AGE AND HANDLING, THERE ARE SMALL EDGE WRINKLES PRESENT AND SOME DEEPER CREASES TO BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR.  THE OPENING EDGE SHOWS SOME WEAR AND THERE ARE SMALL CORNER BUMPS PRESENT, ALL THE OTHER EDGES ARE SQUARE WITH NO WEAR OR RUBBING. THE SPINE IS RIGID WITH SMALL CREASES BUT DOES HAVE PERFECT LETTERING . THE REAR CARRIES THE UNIQUE AND VERY RARE "PSX1" STICKER.

THE "GET BACK" BOOK IS EXCELLENT. THE FRONT AND REAR COVERS SHOW HARDLY CREASES.  MAINTAINING ITS HIGH GLOSS THE BOOK IS VERY CLEAN. ALL THE PAGES ARE STILL FIRMLEY ATTACHED AND ALL ARE SPOTLESSLY CLEAN WITH JUST LIGHT SIGNS OF HAVING BEEN HANDLED. THE BOOK SPINE IS PERFECT, RIGID AND STRONG WITH NO "BUMPING" TO THE ENDS AND ABSOLUTLEY NO WEAR.

THE FLIMSEY OUTER TRAY  IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE  GIVEN THAT THESE DIDNT TEND TO SURVIVE THAT WELL . COMPLETELY INTACT WITH INTACT INNER FLAPS WHICH SHOW JUST MILD CREASES IT IS STILL FIRM AND STRONG . THE TRAY DOES SHOW THE USUAL SIGNS OF EDGE RUBBING FROM BEEN REMOVED FROM THE OUTER SLEEVE

BOTH TRAYS HAVE MAINTIANED THIER ORIGINAL DEEP BLACK COLOUR AND AGAIN THIS HAS THE USUAL EDGE RUBBING CAUSED BY THE TRAYS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE OUTER SLEEVE.  

EACH AND EVERY COMPONENT OF THIS SUPERB BOX SET IS ORIGINAL AND NO PART HAS BEEN "TOUCHED UP" IN ANY WAY JUST THE INNER TRAY HAS BEEN REPAIRED.
