MEGA RARE OPPORTUNITY IN THIS SHOP FRESH CONDITION

NEVER SEEN LIKE THIS !!!!!

£0.99p START PRICE WITH NO RESERVE SET !!!!!

THIS IS NOT ONLY A SUPERB RARER CROSSOVER 2U 3U VINYL, EXPORT APPLE SLEEVED  UK PXS1 BOX SET COPY WITH OUTER SLIPCASE, ORIGINAL OUTER & INNER TRAY &  GET BACK BOOK BUT ALSO SIMPLY ONE OF THE BEST BOX SETS I HAVE HANDLED   

with ALL ORIGINAL PARTS, NOT A REPRODUCTION PART IN SIGHT ! 

 IT WOULD SEEM THAT FOR SOME REASON THESE EXPORT SLEEVES WERE OVER PRINTED AND SO THE EXCESS WERE USED UP WITH STANDARD NON EXPORT DISCS AND MANY APPEAR IN LATE BOX SETS WITH CROSSOVER 3U 2U MATRICES SUCH AS THIS ONE

( FOR INFO, IF ANYBODY SAYS THAT IT IS NOT COMPLETE WITHOUT THE APPLE POSTER THAT IS INCORRECT !!! AS THE POSTER WAS NEVER AN INTEGRAL PART OF THIS SET AND WHICH WAS ONLY EVER INCLUDED AT THE WHIM OF THE RETAILER ) 

THE BOX SET WAS DISCONTINUED AROUND NOVEMBER 1970, THE HIGH LIST PRICE  (U.K. price was £2:19s:11d and in the USA retailed at around $7 )  CAUSING YET MORE FRICTION BETWEEN THE GROUP. 

USUALLY FOUND WITH THE RED APPLE SLEEVE AND -2U-2U MATRIX VINYL SOME COPIES ALSO HAD PARLOPHONE EXPORT PPCS SLEEVES AND CERTAINLY TOWARDS THE END THE STANDARD GREEN APPLE SLEEVE AND -3U-2U OR -2U-3U CROSS OVER VINYLS

GOOD LUCK TO ALL BIDDERS !

In the U.K. the Let It Be album was first issued as a Box Set ONLY - six months BEFORE being released as a single album with a catalogue number of PXS 1, although this number does NOT appear on the package anywhere. The box set contained the L.P. plus a paperback book called "The Beatles Get Back", which contained stills and dialogue from the film (some of it unused in the final print). The paperback is large and glossy at 11 inches by 8 and a half with 164 pages, but is quite delicate and is prone to fall apart if one is not careful.
The photographs are by Ethan A. Russell, and the text is by Jonathan Cott and David Dalton.
The book is NOT available separately, and the box set is no longer available, making it quite collectable and currently worth upto £200 alone.
Of course, the way this release was put out, initially affected advance orders which were nowhere near as high as previous releases, but still it went straight to number 1.
In the U.S. though, this release had the highest advance orders for any album in the history of the American recording industry (at that time) with 3,700,000 orders !!
With a cost of $7 this represented a gross retail sale of over 25,000,000 dollars !!
(U.K. price was £2:19s:11d)
Worldwide sales are now estimated at a little over 5 million. 

The rear of the cover has the following note :
This is a new phase BEATLES album ... essential to the content of the film, LET IT BE was that they performed live for many of the tracks; in comes the warmth and the freshness of a live performance; as reproduced for disc by PHIL SPECTOR
Of course, this is far from the truth ! The original Glyn Johns production, although rough and raw, did have that live feel, but the Spector version added orchestration and a female choir which altered (and ruined ?) the whole concept, and makes the grammatically incorrect sleeve note totally out of step !

The package was designed by John Kosh, and with hindsight is a fitting epitaph with it's black and sombre feel for the last Beatles album.
