BOX
LET IT BE PXS 1 MATRIX 2U-2U
RARE FIRST PRESSING 1970
This 1970 Let It Be box set, was probably a good idea in theory but a bad one in practice. Made from cardboard, it is completely impractical as an item aimed predominantly at a teenage buyer. This set is offered in remarkable condition and ALL the components are 100% original, including the ridiculously fragile book tray, intended to hold the heavy book. Many original sets have this missing. Some are also missing the slip tray and some have damaged or missing outer covers, all of which can be replaced by modern replicas, but they do not use the same original black/grey cardboard. A full set like this one, and in this condition, is almost impossible to find.
THE OUTER BOX: Great condition for this easily damaged item which has to hold the contents including the heavy book. Often found with tears to the open edges or corners, this one is fully intact. There are general signs of handling and shelf wear but overall, it would be difficult to find a better original. THE SLIP TRAY: Wonderful condition with just a few mild creases on the fragile flaps. There is some rubbing on the folded outer edges, which is unavoidable. The photos show how good it is.
THE BOOK TRAY: Without doubt, this is the hardest component to find in excellent condition (or even find at all). You can see from the photos that this genuine original is as good as you could realistically expect to find. It stands firm, showing only minor signs of handling. The photo of the underside reveals that all four corner where they meet the book, are completely intact. If you have ever tried to find a box set with a tray this good, you will know how difficult that is.
THE GET BACK BOOK: As you would expect from a set that has been carefully handled, the book is in top condition. There are no loose pages. This copy has the printed credits page which is the correct publication, as it was intended.
THE RED APPLE L.P. COVER: A lovely example with perfectly square corners and just a few edge wrinkles. The ultra thin spine is perfect and all the text is immaculate. There are a couple of pressure dents on the front panel.
THE INNER L.P. SLEEVE: Correct plain white, company issue which is in perfect condition. 2U/2U L.P. In superb condition with deep gloss vinyl surfaces, showing just a few light surface lines. Audio is sublime.
