POSTAGE IS NOT 7 POUNDS! Check the rates below and WAIT for my invoice! Hi and welcome to my auction. All my auctions will start at £0,99 with NO reserve, so grab a bargain. Please read everything carefully here, so you won’t miss anything. My seller feedback is 100% positive so you can bid with confidence. Grading a record is always very hard, as everyone got their own grading system. I always check my records under a critical light so there won’t be any surprises (many sellers don’t do this), so I will see even the lightest hairlines and sleeve removal lines which you won’t see in normal room light. I’m a collector myself, so I do my best to be honest with my grading. Please see my grading system in the bottom of this page. Thanks for reading everything and happy bidding!!!

What I have for sale here is:

Artist: The Beatles
Title: Let it Be
Label: Apple
Cat#: PCS 7096
Made in: England (1970)

Description: Here I have the original 1970 12 track FIRST ISSUE UK Apple ‘LET IT BE’ Stereo LP on the Dark Green Apple Label, with ‘Apple Records’ label rim, and with ‘An EMI Recording’ and ‘Mfd in the UK’ printed to both record labels. This UK manufactured box set was designed by John Kosh. Matrices are YEX 773-2U & YEX 774-2U. The LP is housed in its ORIGINAL First Issue Fully Laminated Garrod & Lofthouse Sleeve displaying the RED Apple Logo to the Reverse of the Sleeve, and printed ‘An EMI Recording’ beneath the Red Apple. Comes with its original plain white 'Patent no. 1,125,555' inner-sleeve. Also this box set includes 'GET BACK' 164-page book with photographs by Ethan A. Russell, and text by Jonathan Cott and David Dalton and outer tray, so INNER TRAY is missing (where you can place the book)…

Condition: VG+ (Record) EX (Cover) EX (Book) VG (Outer Slipcase) VG (Outer Tray)
Side A has few hairlines and sleeve removal lines when viewed under my strong halogen lamp. However, in the beginning of the first song "hiss" sound can be heard that last for a few rounds. NO jumps clicks or other nasty noises. Side B has a pressing bubble that someone has tried to "remove" and that's on the track "The Long and Winding Road". This will make a few crackles and couple of light pops on that track, but NO jumps or any other nasty noises. Rest of the album plays absolutely great with light background noise in quieter parts, mostly between tracks. Laminated cover is in nice condition with light signs of use! Book is also in great shape, the only problem is that the glue has come off a little bit (look at the pics) so needs more glue and this should be easy to do. Other than that book looks superb and all pages are still there. Outer slipcase has some small splits on the corners and spine wear, but still intact. Outer tray has wear on seams, but no splits etc...

Grading (Record):
This is my grading system. I’m very strict when grading a record. Mostly my VG+ grade is most sellers EX. Also, I don’t use VG+++ or EX+++++ like some sellers do…

NM (NEAR MINT)
This is highest grade that I will assign to opened, handled records. The vinyl is virtually flawless, bright and shiny. A very minor, barely visible scuff or two may be permitted, but no scratches. The disc should play with no audible noise. The label is bright, clean and unmarked.

EX (EXCELLENT)
Disc plays near perfectly, but may have minor paper scuffs that do not interfere with the sound quality. There can possibly be a few hairline scratches but nothing that is obvious or affects play. Vinyl is bright and shiny; label is clean and unmarked.

VG+ (VERY GOOD+)
Some visible surface wear, very minor scratches and scuffs, but minimal impact on the sound quality. Might have a light click or two, but NO skips or jumps. Vinyl will still have good luster; labels may have minor imperfections but otherwise clean.

Grading (Cover):

NM (NEAR MINT)
Very minor signs of wear or cover impressions. Artwork is as close to perfection as possible.

EX (EXCELLENT)
Minor disc impression or slight corner creases, no wrinkles, puckers, seam splits or writing on the cover. Artwork is clean and unworn and there is no ink wear.

VG+ (VERY GOOD+)
Cover is clean but may have minor writing or marks and may show slight wear. There may be just the start of ring wear, where the disc has created a raised area on the cover that resulted in the ink wearing off the paper. There may be slight discoloration or staining, minor seam wear, but no splits or tears. Corners may have small creases or fraying.

Payment by Paypal or bank transfer (IBAN).
