THE BEATLES
'LET IT BE'
1970 UK *BOX SET* (PXS 1)
** 100% COMPLETE**
This rare UK box set, designed by John Kosh, comes entirely complete with: outer slip-case, both inner trays, LP and exclusive softback book showing candid colour and black and white pictures by Ethan A. Russell of The Beatles during the filming and recording.
The PXS 1 catalogue number did not appear anywhere on the package and was just used for ordering purposes.
I have not attempted any repairs and no black ink has been applied anywhere.
Outer Slipcase: EXCELLENT MINUS
Strong and clean and still retaining its high gloss laminate, the case displays some light handling and storage wear but no major faults.
There are some small creases to the laminate and very slight wear to the lower corners but no tears or feathering or missing paper.
The rear shows a few light scratches to the laminate and a minor crease along the bottom edge s but no splits, tears or major damage.
The white areas along the upper and lower edges of the slipcase are light reflections and not tears or missing paper.
Trays
Outer: VERY GOOD PLUS
Very strong and clean with just a few light creases and slight storage and handling wear to the edges and corners but no tears or missing paper.
Inner: EXCELLENT
