The Beatles
Let It Be----Box Set---
PXS 1
**COMPLETE**
Well folks here's a COMPLETE Let It Be Box Set with the increasingly rare poster included (This sells for over £100 alone!!)
This was the Beatles' 13th and final offical album release. Released on the 8th of May 1970, it reached the number 1 slot just over two weeks later and stayed there for 3 weeks. It was also, sadly, to prompt the Beatles' last live performance on top of the Apple Building in London on the 30th of January 1969.
An interesting little bit about this album is the cover was originally intended to be the cover that was used for the Beatles' compilation in 1973 for their 'Red' and 'Blue' album.
Even though recording for the album was finished by the end of May '69, it wasn't until March 1970, when Phil Spector was brought in, that it finally got to be released.
So, here follows the details of this little beauty:
Catalogue number: PXS 1
Matrix Numbers:
Side 1: YEX 773-2U
Side 2: YEX 774-2U
Mothers & Stampers:
Side 1: 1 GAR
Side 2: 2 GPM
*A VERY EARLY 1ST PRESSING!!!*
The condition:
Vinyl: NMint! Yep, that good! It has hardly been played at all. With just a couple of the lightest of light faint hairline marks-certainly NOTHING to detract from playback-GORGEOUS
Labels: EX+. Original DARK GREEN 1st pressing labels. Lovely and clean. Barely any hole wear to mention...just a handful of light whispy spindle marks, visible when angled to the light-really absolutley nothing to worry about at all.
Record Sleeve: EX+. Glorious glossy sheen to both the front and back. Only 4 small cresent (max of 2.5cm) spidering areas to the whole album cover, as well as one 4.5cm finger from the front opening and a few very small (max 1cm...many less) finger spiders from the spine.
THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THIS CLASSIC ALBUM
The corners are NOT bashed or even knocked in any way...SHARP
The spine is superbly clear and flat.
The Apple to the back is green HOWEVER, towards the end of the run of these rare albums, back in 1970, the Apple Corp were running out of the traditional Red Apples and so what we have here is a true transitional COMPLETE package---Not often at all you get to see these up for sale!
Record Inner: NMint-! Original die-cut white inner. No writing, tears or defects...Just a fe creases!
"Patent Nos. 1125555/1072844"
"Made In Great Britain"
Text to one side.
Gorgeous Example.
THE BOX SET IS 100% TRUELY COMPLETE-WITH THE RARE POSTER
Outer Cover: EX. When taking the inner tray out of the outer cover, the cover still keeps it's shape-this is how I have photographed her. Now that's a good solid example! (most I have seen collapse when the inner tray support has been taken away).
To the front the pictures are lovely and clear-gorgeous sheen to the fully laminated outer cover.
Two areas of spidering to the front: One of 10cm-just a straight line from the bottom left corner and a small arc of 5cm to the bottom of the cover too. Simply does not detract from the glorious, unfaded pictures and overall lustre to the outer cover.
The back of the outer cover has the credit of..
"Designed By John Kosh..." to the bottom
Only very slight 'dings' to the corners.
***A VERY NICE COPY***
Inner Tray: VG+. All complete and ORIGINAL! There is some wear to the flip-over inner, with a good repair of a 4cm tear to one of the flip-overs. Some creasing and some rubbing to the corners.
Overall a very nice piece and, yes, ORIGINAL-not swapped-out or replaced.
AGAIN-VERY CRITICAL HERE!
Book Housing: VG++/EX-. This incredibly delicate book housing has stood the test of time with a great deal of dignity! There's only one fault and that is a small 2cm tear to one of the corners BUT it does not go all the way through so she is still intact!!!
Lovely Example indeed!
The Book: VG++. Brilliantly shiny cover with just two tiny crescents of spidering of no more than 2cm's...Certainly nothing to detract from it's glorious glossy cover. She is still solid, however there are a few pages that are coming loose, but aren't quite loose yet-The few sections have just come away from the spine, so a bit of glue may help?!
ONCE AGAIN-INCREDIBLY CRITICAL
The VERY RARE Poster: NMint! Yep, it's true-Here's a Near Mint copy of an incredibly rare poster-Only included in the first pressing editions! It has advertisments for other Apple releases and the text:
"These Fine Albums Are Available Now On APPLE. You Should Have Them"
Now there's some direct marketing!
These were typically taken out, either chucked in the bin or pinned on the wall. Not here-no pin-holes, just the lightest of creasing (apart from the obvious factory crease, so it could fit into the package).
Ads for Abbey Road, Yellow Submarine, White Album and SAPCOR 2 amongst the 15 ads on the poster.
Dimensions:
16.5" X 9.5" (inches)
*JUST SUPERB-THESE SELL FOR £100+ ALONE*
