Notes: We have good reason to believe that this export LP offered here may be a contract pressing from the UK Decca pressing plant. While EMI pressed Parlophone labeled Let It Be Export LP's  for a very limited amount of time back in 1970-71, a contract pressing of this LP from that same period is almost unheard of. It is an exeptionally rare disc. 
For those who don't know, EMI, when their factory production schedule was full and could not keep up with demand for a particular record, would contract another record manufacturer such as Decca, Phillips or Pye to produce product for them to meet that demand. Beatles contract pressings are  very rare to begin with and as a result, are signifcantly more valuable than in-house pressings. 
Specifically, the disc labels have  2 & 7/8" ring on the disc labels which were only common to Decca labels from that era. Rings this size never appeared on EMI pressed LP disc labels. Additionally, the rings are  recessd which are also a common characteristic of UK Decca LP labels from this period. And furthermore, the lack of stamper letter digits in the dead wax are also indicative of Decca produced LP's from this period. 
The fully laminated Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. manufactured jacket has the Parlophone and EMI logos and states "Manufactured in England By E.M.I. Records"  on the back. The jacket also contains the  correct UK PPCS 7096 catalog number. Also, the disc's labels state "MADE IN GT BRITAIN" unlike export LP's produced in other countries.
This item very rare and is guaranteed authentic. It is NOT a reissue and is NOT a counterfeit. There is a fair reserve placed on the item.
