THE BEATLES
LET IT BE
BOXED SET with BOOK
APPLE PCS 7096
"PXS 1"
Outer box with a couple of creases and slight knocks to rear laminate but all intact,usual corner knocks (this was a dreadful design) from removing inner tray.No number on box.
Inner tray is creased and scuffed but again all intact ( I am brutally honest!!)
No inner box for book.(replacements can be obtained on ebay)
Book is totally intact with no rips or tears and no loose pages (again the poor design resulted in the whole thing splitting if anyone dared to read it) just a knock on bottom right with a little lifting,about 2cm.but this could be stuck down quite easily.
Sleeve is original with RED apple and just light scuffing at opening edge.
Vinyl matrix nos... .YEX 773 - 2U.... NO. 1 @ 12 o`clock
YEX 774 - 2U....NO. 2 @ 12 o`clock
Side 1 is EX.
Side 2 has scuffs and there are marks which I can only describe as looking like spider webs.These are on beginning of 1st track and all through track 3. Plays through without jumping but affected tracks have crackles.
All in all not my usual minty style,but still a nice package at a cheap start price.

Price and Reference Guide
In addition to the standard releases worldwide, the Let It Be album was also issued in a deluxe box set package in at least a dozen different countries. In some countries it came out initially only in the box set, and then the LP was later issued by itself in the standard jacket. Designed in the U.K., the limited edition set included a 160-page deluxe Get Back book with lots of text and hundreds of color photos printed on high quality glossy paper. The book was placed in a custom die-cut and recessed cardboard holder which held the LP on top, all of which was encased in an outer slipsleeve.
Each country included their own standard issue Let It Be jacket and disc. The books were all printed in England. The only difference in the outer boxes was on the back where the country (and record number on some) were listed along the bottom. The South African version had a sticker on the back cover, upper right corner, that gave the box set number. In Japan, Let It Be was first issued only in the box set package, and on red vinyl (among the rarest of all Let It Be box sets), then later repressed on black vinyl, and then issued as a standard black vinyl LP release without the box and book.
The books by themselves became quite valuable and sought after during the 1970s and 80s, sometimes selling for as much as £100 for near mint copies. The pages in the books easily became loose due to the way they were bound, which affects their value (and the value of the complete box set). This is of course something to always check before purchasing a box set
Will not sell anythiing which I would not buy myself.
All items will be well packaged in card mailers and plastic covers for safe transit.
Please bid with confidence and you can always view my great feedback.
Thank you for looking in and Happy Bidding.
