THE BEATLES - 'LET IT BE'
This top-quality UK 1st pressing dates from May 1970 release on the dark green Apple Records label: PCS 7096
This earliest pressing was the same as the one included in the limited edition 'Let It Be' (PXS 1) box set.
Matrix numbers: YEX 773-2U & YEX 774-2U
Stamper codes: 1,6/RA & 1/P
Vinyl weight: 144g
Housed in a fully laminated 'Garrod & Lofthouse' printed cover with RED Apple symbol on the rear & original 'Patents No.' inner-sleeve.
CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
A pristine pair with no more than 3/4 well-aimed light spindle trails around each unworn centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT
Extremely clean, deep-gloss playing surfaces which apart from some harmless inner-sleeve removal marks display no significant surface marks or wear in strong daylight. Close examination directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals one or two light hairlines but no other blemishes or wear.
Sound Quality: EXCELLENT +
A superb sounding copy which has been played just a handful of times on quality equipment. My playcheck found no evidence of any groove/playwear distortion or any crackle, clicks, pops or other such distraction. In fact, apart from a touch of low-level vinyl background between tracks, I find it difficult to fault.
Cover: EXCELLENT +
A fine, clean & glossy example which retains unscratched front and rear panel where the only significant signs of wear are a few small wrinkles along the upper and lower edge and a small bend in the upper left corner area. All corners are sharp and unbumped as are both razor-sharp opening edges and both seams are unstressed & unsplit.
The spine is fully laminated along its entire length and both sets of text are in perfect condition.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
Clean & flat with just one or two faint age-spots but no writing, tears or seam splits.
