"LET IT BE" WAS THE BEATLES THIRTEENTH AND LAST U.K ALBUM RELEASE BEFORE THEIR UNTIMLEY SPLIT, IT WAS ALSO THE SOUNDTRACKTO 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.  

OFFERED FOR SALE IS COMPLETE BOX SET WHICH IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION THROUGHOUT. FEATURING 100% ORIGINAL COMPONENTS AND FULLY COMPLETE INCLUDING ITS RARE APPLE PROMOTIONAL POSTER. 

PCS 7096

YEX.773/4-2U-2U (CORRECT 1ST ISSUE MATRICES)

THE IST ISSUE DARK GREEN APPLE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION WITH ABSOLUTELY NO UNWANTED MARKS OR WRITING. LABELS HAVE JUST VERY LIGHT AND MINIMAL SPINDLE MARKS PRESENT AND IT HAS TO BE STRESSED THAT THESE ARE MINIMAL AND ONLY VISIBLE UNDER A STRONG LIGHT. LABELS ARE CLEAN AND RETAIN THEIR ORIGINAL LUSTRE WITH PERFECT AND UNSPOILT LETTERING.

THE  VINYL IS EXCELLENT, THIS HAS BEEN PLAYED AND THEREFORE THE VINYL DOES DISPLAY SOME LIGHT HAIRLINE MARKS AND THREE TINY VISIBLE MARKS TO TRACK TWO, SIDE TWO BUT IT MUST BE STRESSED THAT THESE ARE NOT FEELABLE AND DO NOT AFFECT THE AUDIO. MAINTAINING ITS ORIGIAL DEEP GLOSS THE VINYL LIES PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO WARPING.

SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB THROUGHOUT, THERE WAS SOME MILD CRACKLE TO TEH RUN IN/OFF GROOVES BUT APART FROM THAT THE VINYL PLAYS THROUGH WITH NO DISTORTION, POPS, CLICKS OR JUMPS PRESENT AT ANY POINT. 

COMPLETE WITH ITS ORIGINAL AND CORRECT WHITE INNER WHICH IS NEAR MINT WITH VIRTUALLY NO SIGNS OF AGE OR HANDLING. THE INNER IS STILL ITS TRUE WHITE COLOUR AND STILL VERY CRISP.

THE "GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE" ALBUM SLEEVE IS. STILL FIRM AND STRONG AND MAINTAINING ITS ORIGINAL DEEP GLOSS THE SLEEVE SHOWS SOME SIGNS OF AGE AND HANDLING, WHEN ANGLED IN A CERTAIN LIGHT IT IS POSSIBLE TO DETECT SOME TINY EDGE WRINKLES AND SOME LIGHT CREASES, THERE ARE TWO DEEPER CREASES TO TEH FRONT, ONE TO THE SPINE EDGE AND ONE TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. THE REAR AGAIN HAS LIGHT EDGE WRINKLES AND AGAIN A SLIGHTLY DEEPER CREASE ALONG THE SPINE EDGE. THE PERFECT SPINE IS RIGID AND PERFECT. ALL EDGES ARE SQUARE WITH A HINT OF WEAR VISIBLE.... THE SLEEVE CARRIES THE CORRECT RED APPLE LOGO.

THE OUTER LAMINATED SLIP SLEEVE IS  A TOP QUALITY EXAMPLE, REMAINING STRONG, FIRM AND RIGID THE OUTER SLEEVE SHOWS JUST THE ODD VERY LIGHT BUT SMALL CREASE. THERE IS A HINT OF EDGE WEAR EVIDENT BUT NO CORNER WEAR . THE SLEEVE IS GLOSSY AND CLEAN WITH UNDAMAGED LAMINATE. 

THE "GET BACK" BOOK IS SUPERB SHOWING JUST ONE LIGHT CREASE TO THE FRONT COVER ONLY AND MAINTAINING ITS HIGH GLOSS. THERE IS ALSO A VERY SMALL SECTION OF LAMINATE LIFT TO THE FRONT SPINE EDGE AND A SLIGHTLY LARGER SECTION TO THE REAR SPINE EDGE BUT IT MUST BE STRESSED THAT THE LAMINATE IS NOT SPLIT OR CRACKED. ALL THE PAGES ARE STILL FIRMLEY ATTACHED AND ALL ARE SPOTLESSLY CLEAN WITH LITTLE OR NO SIGNS OF HAVING BEEN HANDLED. THE BOOK SPINE IS PERFECT, RIGID AND STRONG WITH NO "BUMPING" TO THE ENDS.... I DOUBT THIS HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE BOX MORE THAN A FEW TIMES OVER THE YEARS.  

THE FLIMSEY OUTER TRAY  IS A REMARKABLE EXAMPLE AND GIVEN THAT THES DIDNT TEND TO SURVIVE THAT WELL THIS ONE IS UNBELEIVABLE. COMPLETELY INTACT WITH NO CREASES AND DISPLAYING PERFECT INNER FLAPS IT IS STILL FIRM AND STRONG AS ORIGINALLY MANUFACTURED. THE TRAY DOES NOT EVEN SHOW THE USUAL SIGNS OF HAVING BEEN REMOVED FROM THE OUTER SLEEVE  

THE INNER IS JUST AS NEAR PERFECT AS THE OUTER TRAY AND ITS CONDIITON SPEAKS FOR ITSELF, THE ONLY CRITICAL POINT IS THAT TWO OF THE CORNER SEAMES HAVE BEEN TAPED REPAIRED UNDERNEATH BUT THE REPAIR IS NOT VISIBLE. BOTH THESE TRAYS MAINTAIN THEIR ORIGINAL DEEP BLACK COLOUR AND ARE TRULY AWESOME.

COMPLETE WITH ITS ORIGINAL AND VERY RARE UK APPLE PROMOTIONAL POSTER. THE POSTER IS STUNNING WITH VERY LITTLE SIGNS OF AGE OR HANDLING .

EACH AND EVERY COMPONENT OF THIS UNBELEIVABLE BOX SET IS GENUINE AND NO PART "TOUCHED UP" IN ANY WAY.

THIS IS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO AQUIRE THIS MOST SOUGHT AFTER AND HIGHLY COLLECTABLE BOX SET IN EXCELLENT CONDITION THROUGHOUT AND COMPLETE WITH IT ORIGINAL APPLE PROMOTIONAL POSTER.
