The Beatles - Let It Be Box Set

Label & year : Original Apple PCS 7096 LP Box Set , OUTRAGEOUSLY RARE Stereo 1971 UK Export!!!

Matrix's : Side A : YEX 773-3U , Side B : YEX 774-2U

INCREDIBLY RARE UK EXPORT BOX SET

 Most people don't even know this exists. The LP was pressed in absolute miniscule amounts in 1971 for export to europe (as indicated by the Parlophone box on the back of the LP sleeve), and it was paired off with an absolute TINY amount of remaining box set stock Apple had left over from the previous year (of course, there was only ever one press of the lavish box set)!!!

Of course, this is complete with IMPOSSIBLE Get Back book which looks as though it's barely even been read with absolutely NO pages loose OR missing AT ALL!!! And if that wasn't enough, thankfully the record itself sounds FANTASTIC too!!!

You don't need me to explain just how difficult it is to find this electric piece of music history, so I guess I'll just leave it at that!!! Don't miss out on this BRILLIANT complete example, you may NEVER get the chance again!!! Bid now!!!

About : Ultra Rare Original 1971 UK Export 1st Press!!! This MASSIVELY RARE LP initially sold barely anything (LP's were also really expensive to most people back then!!!) and therefore had a very small run, and is INCREDIBLY HARD TO FIND, especially in this condition!!! AN absolute classic LP from this incredible band!!! An astonishing album that really DESERVES to be in EVERY serious 60's / 70's record collection!!! Don't miss out on this MEGA RARE LP!!! If you like good music, bid now!!!

The LP :

Labels : 

Classic UK Apple labels!!! Both sides are AWESOME with NO real signs of age, NO graffiti, and NO writing OR tears whatsoever!!! Just has a small amount of ultra light spindle marks which suggests that this hasn't had too much play over the years at all!!! FANTASTIC for a 41 year old record!!! Both must grade overall as Very Good+++!!!

 

 

Record : Visual - 

Spectacular Original 1970 UK 1st Press Vinyl!!! Nice bright, clean and shiny as if it was just pressed!!! Fantastic jet black mirror like surfaces, it looks INCREDIBLE with NO nasty scratches OR nasty deep scuffs whatsoever!!! The only blemishes off perfection are just one or two BARELY VISIBLE totally non-sounding cosmetic scuffs, a few of the lightest, wispy sleeve traces/cleaning lines (only visible in strong angled light) and only one or two ULTRA light non sounding hairlines from where it has sat or been removed from it's cover over the years!!! Of course, none of these ULTRA light blemishes affect play AT ALL!!! PHENOMENAL for a record of this age and rarity!!! You'll be amazed by how generally clean and unworn it is!!! Must grade overall at least as Very Good+!!! (graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not overgraded AT ALL!!!

 

Record : Audio - 

 

Thankfully, it plays AMAZINGLY with fantastic stereo separation and clarity!!! It really sounds incredible with NO hisses, hops, pops, skips OR sticks!!! Only like pretty much ALL records has the very RAREST quiet tick here and there, and possibly just the MEREST TOUCH of low level static in the rarest few and far between places such as on the run in grooves and between some tracks e.t.c, but that's truly about it!!! The vast, vast, majority of the music is TRULY crystal clear - It really does mostly play with a CD-like near 100% black silence, but with that bass, depth, clarity and warmth you can only get from original UK vinyl!!! EVEN the vast majority of the quiet sections!!! Absolutely ESSENTIAL!!! ASTONISHING for a record of this age and rarity!!! Must grade overall audibly at least as Excellent!!! (graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not trashed or overgraded AT ALL!!!

 

Sleeve : 

Original Mail Order only UK 1st press Box Set!!! 100% complete with the laminated John Kosh G&L "patents pending" slip case (has some minor creasing and general surface grazing from sitting between sleeves, some feathering to the corner tips, and some minor scuffing here and there (nothing drastic) to show from it's 42 years of existence!!! BRILLIANT and still strong and uncrushed - Must grade overall at least as Very Good minus), the original inner box is missing.

the original inner tray (very often missing - it's here, but incomplete, however it is very easily repairable or even replaceable - I know that replacement trays are available cheaply on ebay - Must grade, as it stands, as Poor), and last but not least, the AWESOME Get Back book (VERY heavy, and in STUNNING condition with very little ageing whatsoever - probably barely even looked at with only a tiny amount of very minor creases to show of it's four decades of existence!!! This MAGNIFICENT book must grade at the very least as Excellent)!!!

Also included is the Apple marketing poster showing  collection of APPLE RECORDS

 

Of course, it includes the original G&L 1971 PPCS 7096 fully laminated Parlophone box sleeve complete with original inner!!! IMPOSSIBLE to find this sleeve in anything approaching a good condition - most are spent, torn and worn due to age and the lifestyles of the buyers of this particular LP!!!

Summary : A GREAT example of this STUNNING piece of INCREDIBLY RARE Beatles history - a truly classic Stereo 1971 UK 1st Press Export Let It Be boxset!!! Hard to find in ANY condition, YOU MAY NEVER GET THE CHANCE AGAIN, so don't miss out on this scarce opportunity to own a true piece of 60's/70's music history!!! Bid now!!!
