Description
Here is a NICE BOX SET for someone’s vinyl collection!
· “ALL THINGS MUST PASS” by GEORGE HARRISON
· This is Apple Records STCH - 639.
· It has the 3-INCH X 3-INCH RED-OUTLINED APPLE STICKER WITH CLEAR BACKGROUND that lists the contents of the box set and the record catalog number.
· This is a FIRST PRESSING of this APPLE BOX SET.
· We know this because:
1) The box has the APPLE STICKER on the front that lists the Box Set Contents.
2) The Box has “APPLE STCH 639” printed on the spine. (Subsequent pressings have only “STCH 639” printed on the spine. “APPLE” was removed.)
3) First Pressings do NOT have the Apple Records address printed inside the box lid. (Subsequent pressings added the Apple Records address to the bottom of the text printed inside the lid.)
4) “MFD. BY APPLE RECORDS, INC.” is printed on the bottom of the sliced-apple labels. (Subsequent pressings have “All Rights Reserved…” printed on the orange Apple labels or are Capitol Records pressings with Capitol labels, not Apple labels.)
· This box set has 3 discs. Two of the discs have CUSTOM ORANGE-TINTED APPLE LABELS. The third record has GREEN-TINTED JAM JAR LABELS entitled “Apple Jam”.
· This FIRST PRESSING BOX SET was issued November 27, 1970.
· The box set contains:
1) Box with hinged/attached lid that holds the contents
2) 3 Vinyl LP Discs
3) 3 custom inner sleeves
4) Color poster of George Harrison
· This box set DEFINITELY contains some of George Harrison’s best work including: “My Sweet Lord”, “Wah-Wah”, “Isn’t It A Pity”, “What Is Life”, “If Not For You” (a Dylan composition), “Beware of Darkness”, “Apple Scruffs”, “All Things Must Pass”, and others.
· The BOX itself is graded VERY STRONG VG + CONDITION. There is light overall wear on the front slick with only a few very light smudges/scuffs and a small scuff inside the lid. The black and textured rear of the box has very minimal wear. THERE ARE NO CORNER SPLITS on the top or bottom of the box! The box lid is still nicely (and solidly) hinged to the box bottom. On many of these boxes, the hinging is destroyed separating the lid from the box bottom, and corners are so often split such that it’s not even a box at all!
· The VINYL (all 6 sides) is in NICE NEAR MINT CONDITION. (There is just 1 very light surface hairline/scuff on Side 5 on the “Apple Jam” disc.)
· The 3 TEXTURED-PAPER CUSTOM INNER SLEEVES are included.
1) The Purple-Tinted Sleeve for Sides 1 and 2 shows very light signs of handling, and there are NO SPLITS.
2) The Gray-Tinted Sleeve for Sides 3 and 4 shows very light signs of handling, and there are NO SPLITS.
3) The Green-Tinted Sleeve for the “APPLE JAM” disc shows light signs of handling, and there are NO SPLITS.
· The 35-INCH X 23 ½ -INCH POSTER of GEORGE HARRISON is also included and is in NEAR MINTMINUS CONDITION with light signs of handling and NO TEARS/NO SPLITS.
It’s a GREAT FIRST PRESSING of GEORGE HARRISON’S “ALL THINGS MUST PASS” BOX LP SET in GREAT CONDITION to add to your vinyl collection!!
