Description
The Beatles - Let it Be
I am pleased to offer for sale this exceptional UK 1st pressing box set of The Beatles final studio album, Let it Be.
The box set is complete with all original parts (no replacement trays), including the extremely rare apple advertising poster, and is found is superb MINT- condition. It is incredibly difficult to find a complete and original box set in this condition, most have missing parts and those that don't are generally torn to bits. Here is a great opportunity to add an archival quality final upgrade copy to your collection.
Album Details:
Serial number: PCS 7096
Matrix number: YEX 773 - 2U / YEX 774 - 2U
Mother Stampers: 1 HO / 1 HO
Vinyl Weight: 140g
The 2U/2U matrix numbers confirm that the record is a true first pressing. The mother and stamper codes communicate that the record was produced very early in the production cycle. Consequently, playback is fantastic! Take a listen yourself below.
The sleeve is the first variant as is evidenced by the red apple logo to the rear.
The box is complete with outer slip, inner tray, book and book support.
The box set is complete with the extremely rare Apple advertising poster. Very few copies were sold with the poster and even fewer still include them!
Condition:
Vinyl: MINT -
Labels: MINT -
The labels are bright and clean. Only extremely light spindle wear is evident.
Visual: MINT -
The vinyl maintains immaculate, factory fresh deep-gloss playing surfaces which are blemish free in bright daylight. Under the glare of a halogen bulb several wispy hairline marks are visible alongside an iridescent rainbow shine. Truly an incredible example.
Audio: MINT -
Please note: the eBay app does not facilitate playback. Please use the internet site to enjoy the audio clips.
Side 1:
Side 2:
As is evident from the recordings, this vinyl sounds simply fantastic. There are quiet lead-ins to both sides. There is no noise in between tracks. There is great channel separation. The audio is distinct and dynamic. It would be very difficult to find a better audio experience.
BOX, BOOK & POSTER: EXCELLENT +
The outer box is very clean with a gloss finish. The cover art shows a deep full colour. The inner tray is in great condition. The book support has a small tear to one corner. The book looks great. All pages are present and attached to the spine. It is extremely difficult to find the original box with all components in better condition than this.
Sleeve: MINT -
The sleeve looks fantastic. Both the front and rear retain a glossy lustre with bright, deep colours. The corners are sharp. The spine and all edges are without wear.
Inner Sleeve: EXCELLENT
The original inner sleeve looks great. It is without staining or discolouration and shows only minimal ring wear.
Additional Details:
Before the audio test the vinyl was cleaned by an Okki Nokki vacuum cleaner (using L'art du Son cleaning solution) and then an Audio Desk ultrasonic cleaner.
After cleaning, the vinyl is housed inside a brand new mobile fidelity anti-static inner sleeve.
The vinyl will be packaged outside of the sleeve, both of which are stored inside an archival quality polypropylene outer sleeve.
The record will be sent via an insured courier in a padded vinyl mailer.
