BEATLES "LET IT BE"
PXS 1 BOX SET
"LET IT BE" WAS THE BEATLES THIRTEENTH AND LAST U.K ALBUM RELEASE BEFORE THEIR UNTIMLEY SPLIT, IT WAS ALSO THE SOUNDTRACKTO THEIR FOURTH FILM.
"LET IT BE" WAS SALVAGED FROM AN ORIGINAL PROJECT WHICH WAS TO BE CALLED "GET BACK". AN ALBUM OF THAT NAME WAS DUE TO HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN AUGUST 1969 BUT THE BEATLES CANCELLED IT AND IT WAS LATER DECIDED TO TIE IN A BOOK, FILM AND ALBUM UNDER THE TITLE "LET IT BE".
RELEASED 8TH MAY 1970 "LET IT BE" WAS FIRST ISSUED AS A SPECIAL BOX SET PACKAGE.... PXS 1..... ALTHOUGH THIS NUMBER DOES NOT APPEAR ANYWHERE ON THE RECORD OR PACKAGING..... IT WAS PURELY FOR ORDERING PURPOSES. DESIGNED BY JOHN KOSH THE SPECIAL BOX SET WAS ONLY AVAILABLE FOR A SHORT TIME BEFORE "LET IT BE" WAS RELEASED AS AN ALBUM ONLY.
THE ORIGINAL 1ST ISSUES OF THE BOX SET CAME WITH A LIMITED APPLE PROMO POSTER WHICH ADVERTISED OTHER APPLE ALBUMS AVAILABLE AT THAT TIME.

THE DARK GREEN APPLE LABELS TO BOTH SIDES ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION WITH ABSOLUTELY NO UNWANTED MARKS OR WRITING. LABELS HAVE JUST VERY LIGHT AND MINIMAL SPINDLE MARKS PRESENT AND IT HAS TO BE STRESSED THAT THESE ARE MINIMAL AND ONLY VISIBLE UNDER A STRONG LIGHT. LABELS ARE CLEAN AND RETAIN THEIR ORIGINAL LUSTRE.
THE GLOSSY VINYL IS EXCELLENT, THIS HAS BEEN PLAYED AND THEREFORE DOES DISPLAY SOME LIGHT SURFACE MARKS AND THE ODD HAIRLINE ... NON ARE AGGRESSIVE. THE VINYL LIES PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO WARPING.
SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB..THER IS SOME MILD CRACKLE TO BOTH RUN IN/OFF GROOVES BUT APART FROM THAT THERE IS NO OTHER DISTORTION PRESENT.
COMPLETE WITH ORIGINAL WHITE INNER WHICH IS SUPERB WITH JUST VERY LIGHT BUT MINIMAL CREASES. THE INNER IS STILL ITS TRUE WHITE COLOUR AND STILL VERY CRISP.
THE "GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE" ALBUM SLEEVE IS EXCELLENT. IT DISPLAYS SOME CREASING AND SOME CORNER AND EDGE WEAR, THERE IS ALSO SOME WEAR VISIBLE TO THE SPINE . THE SLEEVE IS CLEAN AND SHINY WITH NO LAMINATE LIFT AND IS FREE FROM ANY WRITING E.T.C.... SLEEVE CARRIES THE "RED APPLE" LOGO
THE OUTER LAMINATED SLIP SLEEVE IS AGAIN EXCELLENT, AGAIN IT DISPLAYS SOME EXPECTED CREASING, SOME EDGE WEAR AND SOME LIGHT SIGNS OF HANDLING. THE FRONT HAS SUFFERED TWO LIGHT "NICKS" AND SOME LAMINATE LIFET TO TOP EDGE BUT THE LAMINATE IS NOT "CRACKED" IT IS INTACT AND AGAIN FREE FROM MARKS OR WRITING.
THE "GET BACK" BOOK IS IN REALLY SUPERB CONDITION. IT IS COMPLETELY INTACT AND ALL PAGES ARE STILL INTACT (IT IS VERY COMMON FOR THESE TO COME LOOSE) THE BOOK SHOWS JUST VERY LIGHT SIGNS OF HANDLING AND IS VERY CLEAN.
THE FLIMSEY OUTER TRAY HAS SURVIVED QUITE WELL, IT DOES HAVE SOME EDGE AND CORNER WEAR PARTICULARLY TO ONE SIDE . IT ALSO DISLAYS THE USUAL RUBBING MARKS FROM TRAY BEEN REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE. HOWEVER THE TRAY IS INTACT AND OVERALL IT IS STILL VERY GOOD.
THE INNER TRAY WHICH IS EQUALLY AS FLIMSEY AS THE OUTER HAS ALSO SURVIVED REALLY WELL. IT AGAIN DISPALYS THE SAME RUBBING MARKS AND HAS AT SOME POINT BEING REPAIRED BUT AGAIN THIS IS REALLY GOOD GIVEN AGE.... NEITHER TRAY TENDED TO SURVIVE THAT WELL.
THE ORIGINAL FACTORY FOLDED AND RARE APPLE PROMO POSTER IS SUPERB, IT HAS VERY LITTLE SIGNS OF AGE AND HANDLING AND HAS NEVER BEEN DISPLAYED. THE POSTER IS VRTUALLY CREASE FREE WITH NO UNWANTED MARKS E.T.C..
OVERALL THIS IS A REALLY GREAT EXAMPLE OF THIS MUCH SOUGHT AFTER BOX SET WHICH IS COMPLETE IN EVERYWAY AND INCLUDES THE VERY RARE APPLE PROMO POSTER.
