                                                              PXS 1 BOX SET

"LET IT BE" WAS THE BEATLES THIRTEENTH AND LAST U.K ALBUM RELEASE BEFORE THEIR UNTIMLEY SPLIT, IT WAS ALSO THE SOUNDTRACK TO THEIR FOURTH FILM.

"LET IT BE" WAS SALVAGED FROM AN ORIGINAL PROJECT WHICH WAS TO BE CALLED "GET BACK". AN ALBUM OF THAT NAME WAS DUE TO HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN AUGUST 1969 BUT THE BEATLES CANCELLED IT AND IT WAS LATER DECIDED TO TIE IN A BOOK, FILM AND ALBUM UNDER THE TITLE "LET IT BE".

RELEASED 8TH MAY 1970 "LET IT BE" WAS FIRST ISSUED AS A SPECIAL BOX SET PACKAGE.... PXS 1..... ALTHOUGH THIS NUMBER DOES NOT APPEAR ANYWHERE ON THE RECORD OR PACKAGING..... IT WAS PURELY FOR ORDERING PURPOSES. DESIGNED BY JOHN KOSH THE SPECIAL BOX SET WAS ONLY AVAILABLE FOR A SHORT TIME BEFORE "LET IT BE" WAS RELEASED AS AN ALBUM ONLY.  

OFFERED FOR SALE IS COMPLETE BOX SET WHICH IS IN  SUPERB CONDITION THROUGHOUT. FEATURING 100% ORIGINAL COMPONENTS ALL OF WHICH ARE INTACT, AND WHICH INCLUDES AN UNPLAYED 1ST PRESSING VINYL AND A NEAR MINT *GET BACK" BOOK  

YEX.773/4-2U-2U (CORRECT 1ST ISSUE MATRICES)

THE IST ISSUE DARK GREEN APPLE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION WITH ABSOLUTELY NO UNWANTED MARKS OR WRITING. THESE VIBRANT LABELS HAVE NO SPINDLE MARKS PRESENT . LABELS ARE CLEAN AND RETAIN THEIR ORIGINAL LUSTRE WITH PERFECT AND UNSPOILT LETTERING.

THE  VINYL ALSO APPEARS TO BE MINT, THIS CLEALRY HASNT BEEN PLAYED AND THIS IS REFLECTED IN THE VINYL'S APPEARENCE, IN NORMAL DAYLIGHT THERE ARE NO SURFACE MARKS PRESENT AND EVEN WHEN EXAMINED UNDER A STRONG LIGHT IT IS DIFFICULT TO DETECT ANY MARKS WHATSOEVER. MAINTAINING ITS ORIGINAL DEEP GLOSS THIS AS NEW VINYL LIES PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO WARPING.

COMPLETE WITH ITS ORIGINAL AND CORRECT WHITE INNER WHICH IS SUPERB WITH VIRTUALLY NO SIGNS OF AGE OR HANDLING AND HAS JUST THE EXPECTED LIGHT CREASES FROM WHERE THE VINYL HAS SAT IN THE INNER. THE INNER IS STILL ITS TRUE WHITE COLOUR AND STILL VERY CRISP.

THE "GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE" ALBUM SLEEVE IS TRULY STUNNING AND IS CERTAINLY A TOP QUALITY EXAMPLE. FIRM AND STRONG AND MAINTAINING ITS ORIGINAL AS NEW GLOSS THE SLEEVE SHOWS LITTLE SIGNS OF AGE AND HANDLING, WHEN ANGLED IN A CERTAIN LIGHT IT IS POSSIBLE TO DETECT JUST A FEW VERY TINY EDGE WRINKLES AND JUST THREE VERY SMALL AND LIGHT CREASES TO THE FRONT, THE REAR HAS LESS EDGE WRINKLES AND JUST ONE VERY LIGHT CREASE IMPRESSION BUT AGANIN ONLY VISIBLE WHEN THE SLEEVE IS ANGLED. THERE IS JUST ONE LIGHT CORNER "BUMP" PRESENT. ALL THE EDGES ARE PERFECTLY SQUARE WITH NO WEAR OR RUBBING. THE PERFECT SPINE IS RIGID AND AND CREASE FREE WITH PERFECT LETTERING . THE SLEEVE SHOWS NO SIGNS OF WEAR ..... THIS STUNNING "RED APPLE" SLEEVE STILL HAS ITS AS NEW FEEL.  

THE OUTER LAMINATED SLIP SLEEVE IS AGAIN A SUPERB EXAMPLE, REMAINING STRONG, FIRM AND RIGID THE OUTER SLEEVE SHOWS JUST THE ODD VERY LIGHT BUT SMALL CREASE AND TWO DEEPER CREASES TO THE FRONT (THESE CAN BE SEEN IN THE PHOTO) HOWEVER THER IS NO LAMINATE LIFT OR SPLITS. THERE IS A SMALL AMOUNT OF EDGE WEAR EVIDENT BUT ONLY TO THE LEFT FRONT EDGE AND EACH CORNER SHOWS THE SMALLEST AMOUNT OF BUMPING (IT SHOULD BE STRESSED THAT NONE OF THIS IS IN ANY WAY SEVERE AND IS FAR FAR, LESS THAN WOULD NORMALLY BE ACCEPTABLE). THE REAR HAS JUST A FEW TINY MINOR CREASES. THE OUTER SLEEVE HAS REMAINED VERY BRIGHT AND GLOSSY AND CLEAN WITH UNDAMAGED LAMINATE. 

THE "GET BACK" BOOK EQUALLY MATCHES THE OTHER COMPONENTS FOR ITS HIGH QUALITY AND GRADES AS NEAR MINT. SHOWING JUST ONE VERY TINY CREASE TO THE REAR COVER AND MAINTAINING ITS HIGH GLOSS THE BOOK IS TRULY STUNNING. ALL THE PAGES ARE STILL FIRMLEY ATTACHED AND ALL ARE SPOTLESSLY CLEAN WITH LITTLE OR NO SIGNS OF HAVING BEEN HANDLED. THE BOOK SPINE IS PERFECT, RIGID AND STRONG WITH NO "BUMPING" TO THE ENDS AND ABSOLUTLEY NO WEAR.... I DOUBT THIS HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE BOX MORE THAN A FEW TIMES OVER THE YEARS.  

THE FLIMSEY OUTER TRAY  IS A SUPERB EXAMPLE AND GIVEN THAT THESE DIDNT TEND TO SURVIVE THAT WELL THIS ONE IS IS AN EXCEPTION TO THAT. COMPLETELY INTACT WITH PERFECT INNER FLAPS WHICH SHOW JUST MILD CREASES IT IS STILL FIRM AND STRONG AS ORIGINALLY MANUFACTURED. THE TRAY DOES NOT EVEN SHOW THE USUAL SIGNS OF EDGE RUBBING FROM BEEN REMOVED FROM THE OUTER SLEEVE  

THE INNER TRAY IS EXCELLENT,AGAIN INTACT AND STILL VERY FIRM AND STRONG. TWO OF THE INNER CORNERS HAVE AT SOME POINT BEEN SYMPATHETICALLY REPAIRED FROM UNDERNEATH AND THEREFORE NOT VISIBLE BUT OTHER THAN THIS THE INNER TRAY IS JUST AS GOOD AS THE OUTER TRAY. BOTH TRAYS HAVE MAINTIANED THIER ORIGINAL DEEP BLACK COLOUR AND DO NOT DISPALY THE USUAL WHITENING CAUSED BY THE TRAYS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE OUTER SLEEVE.   

EACH AND EVERY COMPONENT OF THIS SUPERB BOX SET IS ORIGINAL AND NO PART HAS BEEN "TOUCHED UP" IN ANY WAY. THIS SET HAS CLEALRY NOT BEEN OVERHANDLED OVER THE YEARS AND HAS MOST DEFINITELY BEEN CAREFULLY STORED AND WELL LOOKED AFTER AND THIS WITHOUT DOUBT HAS HELPED TO KEEP THIS SET IN SUCH GREAT CONDITION

THIS IS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO AQUIRE THIS MOST SOUGHT AFTER AND HIGHLY COLLECTABLE UK APPLE BOX SET WHICH OFFERS UNPLAYED VINYL, TRULY STUNNING RED APPLE ALBUM SLEEVE AND NEAR MINT AND BEAUTIFUL "GET BACK" BOOK.
