THE BEATLES
"LET IT BE" BOX SET
APPLE PXS1 PCS 7096 RELEASED MAY 1970
STAMPERS 1 GAR 2 GPM MATRICES 773-2U 774-2U
THIS PARICULAR BOX SET COMES WITH A RARE ORIGINAL APPLE POSTER GIVEN AWAY WITH EARLY APPLE PRESSINGS
THE BOX SET OUTER SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION A SMALL MARK TO EITHER FRONT EDGE AND THE ODD LIGHT CREASE ( HARD TO SEE IN THE PICTURES) THE REST OF THE SLEEVE FRONT IS UNSPOILT WITH UNMARKED IMAGES
THE REAR OF THE BOX HAS SOME LIGHT SCRATCH MARKS WHERE THE SET HAS BEEN HANDLED FACE UP ON DIFFERENT SURFACES BUT AGAIN NO CREASES TO SPOIL THE OVERALL IMAGE
OUTER SLEEVE IS ALSO UNCRUSHED AND STANDS RIDGIDLY ON ITS OWN
THE INNER TRAYS ARE IN EXCLLENT CONDITION ,ITS HARD THESE DAYS TO CONFIRM IF THESE GREY AND BLACK VERSIONS ARE ORIGINAL ,BUT THIS SET DOES HAVE THE ODD LIGHT CREASE AND LIGHT EDGE WEAR WHICH SEEMS IN CONTEXT WITH THE SIMILAR LIGHT WEAR ON THE OUTER SLEEVE
BOOK IS IN SUPERB CONDITION NO LOOSE PAGES AND NO DAMAGE AT ALL TO THE COVERS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE
APPLE POSTER IS AS AN ORIGINAL THIN GLOSSY PRINTED COPY WHICH SHOWS THE BLUE TINTED WHITE ALBUM PICTURE WHICH IS A CONFIRMATION OF 1970's ORIGINALITY
POSTER IS CLEAN AND LEGIBLE WITH A LITTLE EDGE CREASING TO ONE SIDE BUT DOESN'T AFFECT THE TEXT OR THE IMAGES
THE ALBUM SLEEVE HAS A GREEN APPLE ON THE REAR COMBINED WITH A -2U -2U VINYL RECORD ,NOW I APPRECIATE THAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE A RED APPLE SLEEVE HOWEVER THESE BOX SET'S DO TURN UP WITH THE GREEN APPLE SLEEVE AND ALSO THE PARLOPHONE EXPORT SLEEVE
RECORD SHOPS BACK IN THE EARLY SEVENTIES WERE PRONE TO MIXING UP THE VINYL AND THE SLEEVE AS SOME SHOPS ( MY LOCAL WH SMITHS) STORED THE ITEMS SEPARATELY EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS A GAP BETWEEN THE BOX SET RELEASE AND THE SINGLE ALBUM RELEASE OFTEN YOU COULD GO TO BUY THE COMPLETE SET AND THERE WERE NO RED APPLE SLEEVE'S AVAILABLE AND BACK THEN NOBODY ATTACHED ANY VALUE TO THE DIFFERENT SLEEVES
SLEEVE IS IN CLEAN CONDITION BUT DOES HAVE SMALL CREASE AROUND THE EDGES BUT ALL THE TEXT AND IMAGES ARE LEGIBLE
VINYL RECORD RETAINS A GLOSSY FINISH TO THE SURFACES WHICH DO SHOW LIGHT HANDLING MARKS NONE ARE FEELABLE AND AUDIO COMES WITH QUIET RUN INS AND SPACES WITH JUST THE ODD LIGHT POP ON THE SOUNDTRACK
CORRECT WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CLEAN CONDITION TO BOTH SIDES
