COVER
This is the correct issued full laminated Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd., STEREO cover. The back cover also has black background. The text quoted at the beginning of this chapter, along with the song titles, appears in white above photos of each one Beatle. The group’s name, album title and catalog number “Apple Pecords PCS 7096” appear in white on the spine. This example is definitely at least in very good condition, with fully shine surface, gloss and clean, with no writing, marks etc. Has some light laminate traces. At the corners and edges has not some wear. The spine is square, well shaped, that is fully legible/readable, some light crase and very perfect considering for it`s near 50 years old. Looks nice on the whole (see-pics). Definitely VERY GOOD(+) condition.
VINYL
The final album, 1970 UK STEREO Beatles Vinyl record LET IT BE. Nice bright, clean and shiny, as it was just pressed! Fantastic jet black mirror like surfaces, it looks GREAT. This copy is free of warp damages. There is only a light, short trace on track 4, side 2 (see pic.12), which does affect the playback with some light clicks. NO jumps, NO scips, NO really nasty scratches, groovewear, or nasty deep scuffs whatsoever! Daylight will not find even minor scratches. Such, removal of the record from the sleeve will find under the light of led or halogen lamp. Just a small amount of cosmetic non-sounding and unfeelable scuffs (only visible in direct angled light) mostly caused from where it has stored or been removed from it's cover near the 50 years! Of course, none of these ULTRA light blemishes really interfere with play. AT ALL thanks to the deeply pressed quality! BRILLIANT for a record of this age and rarity! Must grade overall close Side 1 and Side 2 is EXCELLENT ! (graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not overgraded AT ALL). Visually it can be concluded, that both sides are at least EXCELLENT condition.

AUDIO

Upon playing both sides, the record plays brilliantly with fantastic STEREO sound - clarity, sharpness and depth! The sound really  is great, perfect - clearly identifiable instruments and vocals! WITH NO ANY HISS, NO REPEAT, NO SKIP/JUMP or CRACKLE! With only a couple of typical light static clicks between some songs and some clicks in the begining of track 4, side2. There is certainly no dominant interference and nothing obtrusive in the playback, both visually and audibly. Such a specific deep rich bass sound you can only get from such an original early Press, STEREO heavy-thick UK APPLE vinyl record.  Amazingly perfect record at this age and rarity, listened to and stored very carefully in time! EXCELLENT SOUND condition!

LABELS
Dark green label with an image of an apple on side 1 and sliced apple on side 2. First label variation with “An E.M.I. Recording” text on two lines and small “33 1/3”. Publishing year printed with small copyright symbol (p). Both labels are in VERY GOOD condition with typical spindle trails on either side, owner writing at side2 and red point, stickered on both sides, to prevent the record ownership. (see pics.) Pls. note, that the writing refers to owner's marking a small scratch on track 4, side 2, causing a few clicks.

INNER SLEEVE
The record is housed in correct, ORIGINAL Apple records 1970, white paper EMI inner sleeve PATENT Nos. 1,125,555 / MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN - strong, without any splits. Inner Sleeve is definitely in EXCELLENT condition.
