The Cat. No. for the Box Set package is PXS 1 and the Cat. No on the record is PCS 7096 on the ORIGINAL 'DARK' Green Apple label (see picture) and is a STEREO 1st pressing (there were NO Monos)!!!! All the tracks are Pure quality Beatles at their best!!!! Any fan of The Beatles, or 60s music in general, will want to have this in their collection!!!!

The record labels are in AWESOME condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!! IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in AWESOME condition!!!! Most of these 60s/70s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, NO hairlines, NO scufflines, and only a VERY few of the VERY lightest paper scuffs only visible under EXTREME light!!!! ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND LOOKS AWESOME!!!! It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, NO hiss, and NO crackle!!!!  The sound quality is simply AWESOME with NO groovewear, and absolutely NO distortion either!!!!  The record must grade MINT(Minus)!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press 'patents' white inner sleeve which is in AWESOME condition!!!! The 1st Press 'Narrow Spine' Red Apple Cover is in SUPERB condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, barely ANY corner wear AT ALL (NOT through the colour), barely ANY creases AT ALL (cover is VERY flat looking), and NO writing!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the laminated Red Apple back is in SUPERB condition with NO writing, NO grubbyness, and NO yellowing!!!!  This cover is INCREDIBLY hard to find in this SUPERB condition and MUST grade Excellent+ if not better!!!!  WHAT AN AWESOME RECORD!!!!

A Box Set like this is usually a challenge to describe, as there is so often many minor defects to include.  BUT NOT THIS ONE!!!!  AS I MENTIONED ABOVE - THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY AWESOME BOX SET AND AN ABSOLUTE JOY TO DESCRIBE!!!!   Firstly the 1st Press 'Patents Pending' Laminated Outer Case is in SUPERB condition!!!!  It retains a SUPERB shape to it - with flat vertical sides and a SUPERB box shape!!!!  There is NO crushing and NO flattening either!!!!  It also has AMAZING shiny 'mirror-like' laminate which is virtually IMPOSSIBLE to find on this Box Set!!!!  It has NO laminate lifting, NO rips, NO tears, NO splits, barely ANY corner wear AT ALL (virtually NONE - and NOT through the colour), and AMAZINGLY the opening edges top BOTH sides are PERFECTLY straight and have NO feathering AT ALL!!!!  This 'Outer Case' is virtually UNCREASED too - with AMAZINGLY NO creases on the cover back AT ALL, and only 1 VERY light 'semi circular' crease at the VERY bottom of the front!!!!  Any other creases are so AMAZINGLY tiny they really arent worth mentioning!!!!  Not only that but this 'Outer Case' has NO indentations of ANY kind on the cover back, and only 2 TINY ones on the cover front (as minor as it gets)!!!!  This Laminated 'Outer Case' is as close to 'brand new' as you could EVER hope to find and MUST grade Excellent+!!!! WHAT A SUPERB OUTER CASE!!!!  Next is the cardboard fold-over under tray & also the cardboard book holder - which are BOTH in absolutely AMAZING condition!!!!  The cardboard undertray is virtually AS NEW - with barely ANY creases AT ALL, barely ANY rubbing AT ALL (virtually NONE - and as close to the original BLACK colour as you are EVER likely to find), NO rips, NO tears, NO writing, and a SUPERB shape!!!!  The Cardboard undertray MUST grade Excellent++++ if not better and is virtually IMPOSSIBLE to find like this!!!!  Next is the cardboard book holder.  This is always the most FRAGILE part of this box set and usually turns up with major tears and often in bits!!!!  But NOT this one!!!!  This is EASILY the BEST conditioned 'Book Holder' I have EVER seen!!!!  It has NO rubbing AT ALL, barely ANY creases AT ALL, it retains a PERFECT 'stiffness' to it (ie - it DOES NOT 'flop' when you hold it by 1 corner), NO edge wear, barely ANY corner wear AT ALL (virtually NONE), NO feathering, NO rips, NO tears, - and even the VERY fragile inside corners have NO splits AT ALL!!!!  Even examining these ULTRA fragile inside corner under intense scrutiny only revealis the TINIEST of 'stress creases' - but even these are no more than 2mm (thats 2 millimetres) in length!!!!  IT IS SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND A BOOK HOLDER LIKE THIS ONE!!!!  The Book Holder MUST grade Excellent+ and is the BEST I have EVER seen!!!!  The 1st Press Get Back Book is also in SUPERB condition with NO loose pages, STUNNING glossy laminate, barely ANY creases AT ALL (apart from 1 on the cover back ONLY - NONE elsewhere), barely ANY cornerwear AT ALL (NOT through the colour), and other NO wear!!!!  It must grade Excellent(Minus) if not better!!!! THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING BOX SET AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS!!!!  THIS WILL SURELY BE THE BEST CONDITIONED 1ST PRESSING OF THIS AMAZING BOX SET YOU WILL SEE FOR A VERY VERY LONG TIME (IF EVER) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
