PXS 1

Professionally CLEANED WITH Pro-Ject VCS MkII Vacuum Record Cleaner

Well folks here's a TOTALLY COMPLETE Let It Be Box Set!!
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, where it finally got released.

So, here follows the details of this little beauty:

Catalogue number: PXS 1

EX.
CLEANED WITH Pro-Ject VCS MkII Vacuum Record Cleaner
The vinyl has just a small handful of light marks to her....Nothing feelable at all. After giving her a gentle professional clean, I listened to the album, all the way through and at volume...SUPERB AUDIO!
 Certainly not jumps or skips!
On loud playback I barely even noticed any background noise, just a little on the run-ins and outs and maybe a couple of very light and soft background pops-if I were to be INCREDIBLY CRITICAL!
The audio was perfectly rich with a strong output-an absolute pleasure to listen to....Even the fade in and out of the tracks are lovely and clear.
LET IT BE shone out in all it's glory, being wonderfully clean and clear-Turn her up-I did :)
I even noticed something I hadn't heard before-where Lennon says "..Sweet Rossetta fart she thought she was a cleaner but she was a frying pan"...I hadn't noticed the frying pan bit before.
FLAT AS THE DAY SHE WAS BORN & STILL RETAINS THE GLORIOUS SHEEN

Labels:
EX+.
Original DARK GREEN 1st pressing labels. Lovely and clean. Barely any hole wear to mention...just a handful of VERY light spindle marks, visible only when angled to the light and looking for them(!)-absolutley nothing to worry about at all.
NO WRITING
Shines out bright, with the deep green Apple.
WONDERFULLY DISPLAYABLE

Record Sleeve:
EX+.
RED APPLE
Glorious glossy sheen to both the front and back.
*A SUPERB COVER HERE*
The corners remain lovely and strong, with just light rubbing.
The spine is superbly clear and flat, with barely any  rubbing at all and remains perfectly legible.
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 7 very small and light crescents of spidering to the laminate, mainly near the opening with just a few very small (less than 1cm) small fingers of spidering emanating from the seams...Nothing offensive at all.
NO WRITING
NO RIPS OR TEARS
    WOULD FRAME INCREDIBLY WELL
*REMAINS VIBRANT IN COLOUR TO THIS DAY*

Record Inner:
NEAR MINT
 Die-cut plain white inner. No writing...
Wonderful condition and all ORIGINAL.
"PATENTS APPLIED FOR"
&
 "MADE IN ENGLAND"
Just light discolouration and some very light creasing...W-O-W!


Outer Cover:
EX.
 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. The corners are fantastic too, with barely any wear to them....I am being very honest, open and critical here.
There is a line of spidering to the top of the front pictures-but not over the Beatles' images and remains inconsequential as well as some lines near the opening-but nothing bad at all.
Superb, SOLID example!
It really is in great shape.
NO WRITING There is a small original price sticker to the top right, but this would be easily removed without creating any damage if the buyer wished. 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
***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(+).
**BOTH HAVE SURVIVED-NOT A REPRODUCTION PIECE IN SIGHT**
 It is the ORIGINAL black inner tray (with the grey inside)and with the rounded corners-which has survived incredibly well.
The card inner, where the book is housed, has some handling wear with little tears to the inner corners, but remains in one piece, with just one corner being seperated from the other-please see the detailed images.
Hard to find these in any condition.
AGAIN-VERY CRITICAL HERE!
*NOT touched up and all original*

The Book:
EX++.
One of the BEST I have ever seen.
SUPERB CONDITION-NOT A LOOSE PAGE IN SIGHT.
Brilliantly shiny cover free from any spidering-WOW-please see the detailed images for yourselves.
NO LOOSE PAGES.
Very VERY gently rubbed corners only...This is minimal-most sellers wouldn't even notice it, let along mention it...Nothing AT ALL to worry about.
NO WRITING
Gloriously glossy pictures with all their original color.
ALL ORIGINAL AND COMPLETE
SUPERB TO FIND THIS BOOK IN THIS CONDITION AFTER ALL OF THESE YEARS-MOST HAVE LOOSE PAGES-BUT THIS DOES NOT :)

The Poster:
EX.
ORIGINAL & RARE poster measuring 9.5 Inches X 16.5 Inches.
There are 3 folds-2 from the factory and one to the bottom edge where it was found inside the sleeve.
Just some light foxing to the back

OVERALL:
An ORIGINAL, COMPLETE & rare boxset from THE BEATLES.
NO REPRODUCTION PARTS
NO LOOSE PAGES IN THE BOOK
COMPLETE WITH VERY RARE ORIGINAL POSTER & PATENTS APPLIED FOR INNER.
Certainly one for the serious collector.
SOUNDS SUPERB TOO!
