The Cat. No. for the Box Set package is PXS 1 and the Cat. No on the record is PCS 7096 on the ORIGINAL Green Apple label (see picture) and is a STEREO 1st pressing (there were NO Monos)!!!! All the tracks are Pure quality Beatles at their best!!!! Any fan of The Beatles, or 60s music in general, will want to have this in their collection!!!!

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a VERY few light spindle marks!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HASNT BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! Most of these 60s/70s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, only 2 or 3 light hairlines, NO scufflines, only 1 MEGA light and NON sounding surface trace, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!!  It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO groovewear, and NO distortion either!!!!  The record must grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press 'patents' white inner sleeve which is in SUPERB condition!!!! The 1st Press 'Narrow Spine' Red Apple Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear, barely ANY spinal wear AT ALL (virtually NONE!), only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), only a few light creases (cover is flat looking), and NO writing!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!!  Even the laminated Red Apple back is in BRILLIANT condition with NO writing, NO grubbyness, and NO yellowing!!!!  This cover MUST grade Very Good++ if not better!!!!  A BRILLIANT CONDITIONED RECORD!!!!

I will now describe the Box Set in GREAT detail - so please take the time to read EVERYTHING carefully!!!!  Firstly the 1st Press 'Patents Pending' Laminated Outer Case is in STUNNING condition!!!!  It retains a SUPERB shape to it - with flat vertical sides and a SUPERB box shape!!!!  There is NO crushing and NO flattening either!!!!  It also has SUPERB shiny laminate which is virtually IMPOSSIBLE to find on this Box Set!!!!  It has NO laminate lifting (apart from a VERY minor and VERY thin line along the front top edge), NO rips, NO tears, NO splits, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), and the opening edges are beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!!  This 'Outer Case' has only a VERY few VERY light creases and AMAZINGLY there is barely ANY creases on the cover back AT ALL!!!!  Not only that but this 'Outer Case' has barely ANY indentations of ANY kind AT ALL - with only 1 on one vertical side!!!!  This Laminated 'Outer Case' is in STUNNING condition and MUST grade FULL Excellent!!!!  WHAT A STUNNING OUTER CASE!!!!  Next is the cardboard fold-over under tray.  It has only very VERY light wear to the VERY edges ONLY, AMAZINGLY there is NO wear to vunerable bottom, only a VERY few creases to one of the front flaps, a few creases to one of the vertical sides, NO splits, barel;y ANY rubbing AT ALL, only slight corner wear, and most importantly NO rips and NO tears!!!!  The Cardboard Undertray MUST grade Very Good+ if not better!!!!  Next is the cardboard book holder.  This is always the most FRAGILE part of this box set and usually turns up with major tears and often in bits!!!!  But NOT this one!!!!  This is one of the BEST conditioned 'Book Holders' I have EVER seen!!!!  It has NO rubbing AT ALL, barely ANY creases AT ALL, it retains a PERFECT 'stiffness' to it (ie - it DOES NOT 'flop' when you hold it by 1 corner), NO edge wear, barely ANY corner wear AT ALL (virtually NONE), NO feathering, and only an absolutely TINY 'split' (3mm ONLY) in one of the inner corners!!!!  The only thing I have to mention is that the bookholder seems to be made of a VERY slightly different type of card to the undertray.  It is also matt in colour.  So I suppose it is possible that this could have been 'made up' - at some point - though really I dont see how?  And it is well known that EMI used many different types of cardboard when making this box set - and it is just as possible it could be original!!!!  In any case - it is only 1 small piece of cardboard in this AMAZING box set - and for me it certainly DOES NOT detract in ANY way (and I have measured this cardboard and it seems EXACTLY correct to me!)!!!!  The Book Holder MUST grade Excellent(Minus)!!!!  The 1st Press Get Back Book is also in SUPERB condition with NO loose pages, STUNNING glossy laminate, barely ANY creases AT ALL, barely ANY corner wear AT ALL (NOT through the colour), and other NO wear!!!!  The only MEGA minor thing to mention is that the front of the book has started to curl VERY slightly - but this really is as MINOR as it gets!!!!  It must grade FULL Excellent if not better!!!! THIS BOX SET IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
