BEATLES "LET IT BE" 

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 VERY GOOD ++ (VG++) CONDITION THROUGHOUT. FEATURING 100% ORIGINAL COMPONENTS, AND WHICH INCLUDES A 1ST PRESSING VINYL AND AN EXC. *GET BACK" BOOK WITH NO LOOSE PAGES, SOLID BINDING BUT STAINS ON ONE PAGE (see photo).

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

THE IST ISSUE DARK GREEN APPLE LABELS HAVE NO WRITING OR MARKS, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ONE SPINDLE MARK ON EACH SIDE. LABELS RETAIN THEIR ORIGINAL LUSTRE WITH PERFECT AND UNSPOILT LETTERING. 

THE VINYL (which has been professionally cleaned) APPEARS TO BE VG, WITH MINO SCRATCHES THAT MAY RESULT IN A FEW AUDIBLE CLICKS. 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 QUITE LOVELY, FIRM AND STRONG AND MAINTAINING ITS ORIGINAL GLOSS. THE SLEEVE SHOWS LITTLE SIGNS OF AGE AND HANDLING, BARRING A BIT OF A LIFT IN THE LAMINATION (see photo) AT THE TOP LEFT HAND CORNER, AND SOME WRINKLING IN LAMINATION IN THE CENTER OF THE OPENING. 

ALL THE EDGES ARE PERFECTLY SQUARE WITH NO WEAR OR RUBBING. THE PERFECT SPINE IS RIGID AND CREASE FREE WITH PERFECT LETTERING. 

THE OUTER LAMINATED SLIP SLEEVE IS IN VG+ CONDITION, WITH NO TEARS OR MAJOR DINGS. IT, TOO, REMAINS STRONG, FIRM AND RIGID. THE OUTER SLEEVE SHOWS JUST THE ODD LIGHT BUT SMALL CREASE, ON TOP AND BOTTOM.  ((THESE CAN BE SEEN IN THE PHOTOS). THERE IS VERY MINOR LAMINATION LIFT IN THE FRONT BOTTOM. THERE IS THE MOST MINOR AMOUNT OF EDGE WEAR EVIDENT, AND A VERY TINY ‘DING’ IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER. (IT SHOULD BE STRESSED THAT NONE OF THIS IS IN ANY WAY SEVERE AND IS FLESS THAN WOULD NORMALLY BE ACCEPTABLE). THE REAR HAS ONE ONE-INCH CREASE (not deep) IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND CORNER.

THE "GET BACK" BOOK EQUALLY MATCHES THE OTHER COMPONENTS FOR ITS HIGH QUALITY AND GRADES AS VG+. SHOWING JUST ONE CREASE TO THE REAR COVER FROM ‘THUMBING’, AND ONE IN THE FRONT (same). THERE IS A ‘BEND ON THE BACK COVER WHICH IS SHOWN IN THE PHOTO. ALL THE PAGES ARE STILL FIRMLY ATTACHED, AND HE BOOK SPINE IS PERFECT, RIGID AND STRONG WITH NO "BUMPING" TO THE ENDS AND ABSOLUTLEY NO WEAR. THERE ARE STAINS AND MARKS ON TWO PAGES (these are the front and back of one page sheet, shown in photos)

THE OUTER TRAY IS QUITE NICE, GIVEN THAT THESE DIDNT TEND TO SURVIVE THAT WELL. THIS ONE IS AN EXCEPTION TO THAT. COMPLETELY INTACT WITH CLEAN 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 WORN, AS THESE USUALLY TEND TO BE. (Photos show all issues.) THE TRAY CAN STILL COMFORTABLY HOLD/SUPPORT THE BOOK, AND HAS NO SCOTCH TAPE OR POOR REPAIR WORK DONE TO IT. BOTH TRAYS HAVE MAINTIANED THEIR ORIGINAL DEEP BLACK COLOUR AND DO NOT DISPLAY THE USUAL WHITENING CAUSED BY THE TRAYS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE OUTER SLEEVE.  

NO PART HAS BEEN "TOUCHED UP" IN ANY WAY. THIS SET HAS CLEALRY NOT BEEN ABUSED 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, AND THE BEAUTIFUL "GET BACK" BOOK.
