CONDITION:

The Disc

-2U/-2U matrix disc in EXCELLENT PLUS! condition. Visually it is glossy and clean, both sides have a deep-sheen with light signs of use visible in both good natural light and under direct strong halogen spotlight. The audio playback is superb. Quiet run-ins to both sides, and between tracks and in soft passages or quiet tracks like the title track 'Let It Be'. No obtrusive pops, repeat clicks and clearly no skips of sticks in this superior condition. The disc sits completely flat on the turntable and does not have any warping or dishing. The labels are clean and unworn.

The Sleeve

The red apple 1st press sleeve has a glossy and clean front and back without ring wear, sharp edges and corners, and a fully readable spine, NEAR MINT! 

The Inner

The original white paper inner sleeve is clean, without stains writing, or rips/splits, EXCELLENT!

The Book

The original 164-page book has a glossy clean front and back, and unworn fully-readable spine. All pages are intact and not loose or coming loose. NEAR MINT!

The Box (main outer slipcase) 

The box outer slipcase with 4 square panel images of the Beatles is in fantastic condition. The front is glossy and clean without print fading or discolouration. Light signs of handling only, EXCELLENT!  

The Box (slipcase tray) 

The box slipcase tray is normally in poor condition due to being pulled at from the sides and also oftenflattened. This tray has only mild wear and crease lines and still supports the shape of the box from the side edges well. No rips, tears or heavy wear, VERY GOOD!   

The Box (inner book holder) 

The box inner book holder - the most delicate part of the set is in great condition. Fully intact with small tears at the inner corners as is usually the case. VERY GOOD!  

Apple promo mini poster

The original Apple records mini-poster is fully intact without only light crease lines, EXCELLENT!
