Many thanks for your interest in my records! I've collected records for over 30 years and as such sometimes take stock and realise how many duplicates I have accrued, and how many records I no longer listen to. I grade using the RRPG Record Collector grading system, though feel that I grade down if anything, please check my feedback for proof of this! I have sold many records (some incredibly rare ones in the 4 figures) over the years, so please rest assured that my gradings have been satisfactory so far! Though, If you have any concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me before leaving negative feedback. I haven't had negative feedback so far, and don't intend to start now if I can at all help it!
I'll combine records for the same price for up to 3 disks (double LPs count as 2!), and at as reduced a rate as I can beyond that! International bidders please ask, as I'll send them as cheaply as possible for you,but they must be sent tracked and insured.

THE BEATLES 1ST UK Pressing LET IT BE 2U/2U RED APPLE Box Set Version!
As you probably know,the very first UK releases of The Beatles final LP release was as a deluxe box set with box inner tray, book housing and book, a multimedia endeavour that went alongside the film. These very first records had 2U/2U suffixes to the Matrices, and the apple on the back of the cover was red. The record was then released as a standard priced LP without all of the deluxe box set trimmings, but also with the matrices becoming the standard 3U/3U suffixes and the apple on the back of the sleeve being changed to the standard green apple.  Here then is one of the first Red apple sleeves and very first 2U/2U matrix records fromthe box set release, and in wonderful condition!
Record Condition: EX-,when I bought this copy years ago,it was sold tome as EX, but I feel that that was slightly high for this copy, as whilst the audio is wonderful,and in normal light the surfaces look pretty lovely too,when angled under strong,direct light a few very light surface hairlines/marks are visible. These are all very light, and the audio is still magnifficent,but to give it an unadulterated EX would be a little generous I feel! Anyway, it's a lovely copy, with superb audio, and looks very pretty too!
Labels Condition: EX Reallylovely and crisp with just a handful of very light spindle trails,only visible when angled under strong,direct light,and a tiny whitening to the very edge of the label (possibly in manufacture) of the side 1 label near 4 o'clock. Completely free from grafitti, tears, stickers etc. etc. Lovely!
Sleeve Condition: EX- REally beautiful crisp, fully laminated Red Apple Garrod and Lofthouse sleeve. Lovely laminate with extremelylight signs of handling/ disc presence. Perfectly legible spine, very nice and clean on these unforgiving rich black gloss surfaces! Very light corner rub,again probably barely noticabe if not for the rich black surfaces! Beautiful edges,with just tiny amount of rub along the bottom joining seam edge. Oopening mouth edges completely rip free, and with only very light handling/foxing. In short a beautiful Original Box Set RED APPLE LET IT BE sleeve!
