The Beatles
Let It Be ----1st Press Box Set---
PXS 1
COMPLETE TOO
Professionally CLEANED WITH Pro-Ject VCS MkII Vacuum Record Cleaner

Well folks here's a COMPLETE Let It Be Box
This was the Beatles' 13th and final offical album release. Released on the 8th of May 1970, it reached the number 1 slot just over two weeks later and stayed there for 3 weeks. It was also, sadly, to prompt the Beatles' last live performance: on top of the Apple Building in London on the 30th of January 1969.
An interesting little bit about this album is the cover was originally intended to be the cover which was used for the Beatles' compilation in 1973 for their 'Red' and 'Blue' album.
Even though recording for the album was finished by the end of May '69, it wasn't until March 1970, when Phil Spector was brought in, when it finally got released.

So, here follows the details of this little beauty:

*LOVELY AND EARLY*

Vinyl:
145g
VG+.
CLEANED WITH Pro-Ject VCS MkII Vacuum Record Cleaner
The vinyl has just very light wispy marks to her-simply from removal and replacement of the inner. On loud playback I noticed very little and only incredibly occasional background noise....Even the run-ins were almost silent!
She really does sound wonderfully rich and full.
Certainly no jumps or sticks.
I noticed a slight edge bump-but this did not affect playback at all.
STILL RETAINS THE GLORIOUS SHEEN

Labels:
EX.
Original DARK GREEN 1st pressing labels. Lovely and clean. Only slight hole wear to mention-as can be seen in the images of side 1...just some light spindle marks, visible when angled to the light-really absolutley nothing to worry about at all.
NO WRITING.
Shines out bright, with the deep green Apple.

Record Sleeve:
EX-
RED APPLE
Glorious glossy sheen to both the front and back.
The corners are just gently rubbed.
The spine is superbly clear and flat, with barely any  rubbing.
The Apple to the back is RED-showing it to be the very first pressing...If you need more convincing than the end matricies as well as the Mothers and Stampers! Not often at all you get to see these up for sale!
There's only around 5 small cescents of spidering to the laminate, mainly near the opening...Really nothing offensive at all.
    WOULD FRAME INCREDIBLY WELL

Record Inner:
EX.
 Die-cut plain white inner. No writing...
"PATENTS APPLIED FOR",
"MADE IN ENGLAND"
Gorgeous EARLY Example-Only some light foxing to the paper.
Lovely early inner and increasingly rare to find one with the "Patents Applied For" statement.

Outer Cover:
VG(+).
 When taking the inner tray out of the outer cover, the cover still keeps it's shape-this is how I have photographed her. Now that's a good solid example! (most I have seen collapse when the inner tray support has been taken away).
To the front, the pictures are lovely and clear-gorgeous sheen to the fully laminated outer cover, with ony some light knocking and rubbing to the corners.
There has been a very well done repair to the top left on the front. The corners have some rubbing-please see the detailed images for yourselves.
NO WRITING
The back of the outer cover has the credit of..
"Designed By John Kosh Photographs by Ethan A Russell Printed and made in Great Britain by Garrod & Lofthouse Limited (Patents Pending)" to the bottom
***REMAINS A VERY COLLECTABLE COPY***
(AGAIN: PLEASE SEE THE DETAILED IMAGES FOR YOURSELVES-AND SEE MY FEEDBACK FOR POSITIVE REVIEWS AND HAPPY CUSTOMERS)

Inner Trays:
VG/G.
ALL ORIGINAL AND NOT REPRODUCTION.
 It is an all black inner tray, with the rounded corners and has survived incredibly well.
The card inner, where the book is housed, has some wear and is missing one side. Each section has come away from the other-as shown in the image provided.
Hard to find these in any condition.
AGAIN-VERY CRITICAL HERE!

The Book:
EX(+)!
Brilliantly example here; shiny cover and very well looked after. I only noticed the back top left corner has a small line of spoidering to the laminate, as well as around 4 small crescents of spidering to the back-The front is gloriously clear.
*NO LOOSE PAGES*
Gloriously glossy pictures with all their original color.
NO WRITING
ALL ORIGINAL ALL COMPLETE-WITHOUT LOOSE PAGES!

OVERALL: 
An ORIGINAL, 1st PRESSING, COMPLETE & rare boxset from THE BEATLES.
RED APPLE
SUPERB BOOK
Certainly one for the serious collector.
LOOKS GREAT & SOUNDS GREAT TOO!
