On offer here is a VERY rare Box Set (especially in this condition!!!!) by George Harrison called "All Things Must Pass" and is an ORIGINAL UK 1970 1st Pressing on the 1st Press Apple labels!!!! THIS 3/LP BOX SET IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND (ESPECIALLY IN THIS AMAZING CONDITION!)!!!!  JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!!  MOST COPIES THAT TURN UP FOR SALE TODAY - ARE EITHER IN TERRIBLE CONDITION, OR A LATER PRESSING!!!!   BUT WHAT MAKES THIS BOX SET REALLY SPECIAL - IS THAT IT IS THE 'EARLIEST' AND RAREST 1ST PRESSING YOU CAN POSSIBLY GET, AND HAS SOME AMAZING DIFFERENCES THAT ALL LATER PRESSINGS SIMPLY NEVER HAD!!!!  IT EVEN HAS AN EXTRA SPECIALLY MADE 'EXTRA' INSERT & A VERY 'DIFFERENT' OUTER BOX - THAT ONLY EVER CAME WITH THE FIRST FEW HUNDRED 1ST PRESSINGS EVER MADE!!!!  

BEFORE I GET TO THIS 'EXTRA SPECIAL' RARITY - I WILL EXPLAIN WHAT MAKES THIS LP A 'TRUE' & 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE - FROM THE 'DAY OF RELEASE' IN 1970!!!!  FIRSTLY IT HAS UK 1ST PRESSED RECORDS WITH '1U' MATRIX ENDINGS TO EVERY SIDE (LATER ONES DONT)!!!!  SECONDLY IT HAS 'TEXTURED' 'FULLY COLOURED' INNER SLEEVES WITH THE SAME COLOUR & 'TEXTURE' ON THE INSIDE OF THE INNERS AS THE OUTSIDE (LATER ONES ARE WHITE & SMOOTH INSIDE)!!!!  THIRDLY THE 'FULL SIZE' POSTER HAS 'MADE IN GT BRITAIN' PRINTED IN ONE CORNER (LATER ONES DONT!)!!!!  AND LASTLY AND MOST IMPORTANTLY - THE OUTER BOX COVER IS THE 'EARLIEST POSSIBLE' AND HAS SOME AMAZING DIFFERENCES TO ALL LATER PRESSINGS!!!!  LIKE ANY 100% GENIUNE 1ST PRESSING OF THIS LP IT IS 'MADE IN GT BRITAIN' (SEE PICTURE) AND IS FAR LARGER THAN THE LATER THINNER 'U.S.' COVERS THAT FOLLOWED!!!!  HOWEVER THIS IS NOT THE ONLY DIFFERENCE!!!!  THE COVER HAS A 'LEATHER EFFECT' TEXTURED FINISH TO THE BLACK PART OF THE COVER (LATER 'GT BRITAIN' COVERS DONT!).   BUT THE REAL DIFFERENCE THAT IDENTIFIES THIS COVER AS ONE OF THE FIRST FEW HUNDRED 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSINGS EVER MADE - IS THAT IT HAS A PLAIN CARDBOARD BOTTOM ON THE INSIDE OF THE COVER (ALL LATER COVERS HAVE A 'WHITE' BOTTOM AND LATER STILL AN ORANGE ONE)!!!!  AND THIS TIES IN PERFECTLY WITH THE 'EXTRA INSERT' I MENTIONED EARLIER!!!!  WHEN THIS BOX SET WAS FIRST CONCIEVED THE IDEA WAS TO HAVE A PLAIN CARDBOARD BOTTOM TO THE INSIDE OF THE COVER AND TO COVER THIS WITH AN 'EXTRA' STIFFENER INSERT WHICH WAS PERFECTLY COLOURED IN ORANGE ON ONE SIDE TO MATCH THE INSIDE LEFT HAND OPENING SIDE OF THE COVER!!!!  IF YOU LOOK AT MY PICTURES - YOU WILL SEE EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN (I HAVE TAKEN 1 PICTURE WITH THIS INSERT 'IN PLACE' AND ONE WITHOUT)!!!!  THE 'EXTRA' STIFFENER ALSO SERVED THE PURPOSE OF 'FILLING' THE LARGER UK BOX TO STOP MOVEMENT IN DELIVERY.  HOWEVER THIS IDEA WAS IMMEDIATELY DROPPED (DUE TO TIME & PRODUCTION COSTS) AND IT WAS FIRSTLY REPLACED WITH A PLAIN WHITE SPACER (AS IT COSTED LESS THAN THE ORANGE ONE!), AND LATER STILL IT WAS DECIDED TO SIMPLY LINE THE BOTTOM OF THE INSIDE OF ALL LATER BOX SETS IN WHITE AND GET RID OF ANY SPACER ALTOGETHER!!!!  AND OF COURSE, THE MUCH LATER 'U.S.A' MADE COVERS SIMPLY HAVE THE BOTTOM LINED IN ORANGE!!!!  AND NATURALLY THOSE LATER PRESSINGS DO NOT HAVE THIS SPECIALLY MADE 'ORANGE' INSERT - WHICH WAS STRICTLY LIMITED TO THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSINGS ONLY!!!!  I WAS WELL INFORMED BY AN EX-EMI EMPLOYEE THAT QUITE LITERALLY ONLY A FEW HUNDRED WERE EVER PRESSED LIKE THIS - BEFORE THE CHANGE WAS MADE!!!!  SO HAVE NO DOUBT AT ALL - THAT THIS IS THE 'EARLIEST' & RAREST 1ST PRESSING OF THIS COVER EVER MADE - AND BARELY ANY EXIST LIKE THIS TODAY!!!!  IT IS ALSO WORTH MENTIONING - THAT EVEN THE TINY FRACTION OF 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSINGS THAT DID ORIGINALLY HAVE THIS 'ORANGE' SPACER INSERT WOULD HAVE LOST IT OVER THE YEARS - WHICH MAKES THIS BOX SET EVEN RARER STILL!!!!  ONLY A FEW HUNDRED OF THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSINGS EVER MADE, WOULD HAVE COME LIKE THIS - AND TO FIND ONE IN THIS AMAZING CONDITION, IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE!!!!
