GEORGE HARRISON : ALL THINGS MUST PASS VERY RARE (ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION!!!) VINYL BOX SET. UK ORIGINAL 1970 1st PRESSING!!!! ON THE 1st PRESS APPLE LABEL!!! IN STUNNING NEAR MINT CONDITION!!!

THIS THREE LP BOX SET IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND. BUT THIS ONE IS ONE OF THE EARLIEST AND RAREST 1ST PRESSING YOU CAN POSSIBLY FIND AND HAS SOME DIFFERENCES WHEN COMPARED TO ALL LATER PRESSINGS.  IT EVEN HAS AN EXTRA SPECIALLY MADE INSERT THAT ONLY EVER CAME WITH THE FIRST FEW HUNDRED PRESSINGS EVER. WHAT MAKES THIS LP A 'TRUE' 1ST PRESSING!!!  FIRSTLY IT HAS UK 1ST PRESSED RECORDS WITH 1U MATRIX ENDINGS TO EVERY SIDE (LATER ONES DONT).  SECONDLY IT HAS TEXTURED COLOURED INNER SLEEVES WITH THE SAME COLOUR ON THE INSIDE OF THE INNERS AS THE OUTSIDE (LATER ONES ARE WHITE INSIDE) THIRDLY THE FULL SIZE POSTER HAS MADE IN GT BRITAIN PRINTED IN ONE CORNER, AND HAS A LIGHTLY TEXTURED MATT' FINISH, LATER ONES WERE GLOSSY AND USUALLY NOT MADE IN GT BRITAIN.  LASTLY BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY THE OUTER BOX COVER IS THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE AND HAS SOME BIG DIFFERENCES TO ALL LATER PRESSINGS!! LIKE ANY GENIUNE 1ST PRESSING OF THIS LP IT IS 'MADE IN GT BRITAIN' AND IS FAR LARGER THAN THE LATER THINNER U.S. COVERS THAT FOLLOWED. HOWEVER THIS IS NOT THE ONLY DIFFERENCE THE BLACK BACK OF THE COVER HAS A HEAVILY TEXTURED LEATHER LIKE FINISH TO IT (LATER 'GT BRITAIN' COVERS DONT).   AND THE OTHER REAL DIFFERENCE THAT IDENTIFIES THIS COVER AS ONE OF THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSINGS IS THAT IT HAS A PLAIN WHITE BOTTOM TO THE INSIDE OF THE BOX SET (LATER ONES ARE ORANGE).  AND OF COURSE LETS NOT FORGET THE 1st PRESS EXTRA STIFFENER INSERT!!! 

THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1970 UK 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS APPLE LABELS, 1ST PRESS 1U MATRIX ENDINGS TO ALL!! SIDES, 1ST PRESS TEXTURED INNERS, 1ST PRESS FULL SIZE COLOUR POSTER, ULTRA RARE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS EXTRA STIFFENER INSERT,  AND 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS GT BRITAIN' TEXTURED LEATHER LIKE OUTER BOX!!!  THIS BOX SET IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY.

The classic Apple centre labels are all in stunning excellent ++++ condition with NO tears, peeling, scribbles and no biro etc. Under torch light I can see a couple of the fainest spindle marks on each label. Going by the labels I would say these records have only been played once or twice at most!!!

All three vinyl disc's are in beautiful excellent +++ condition!! copies of this box set normanally turn up today completely worn out with lots of scratches and gouges. These disc's NO scratches, NO groove wear and NO warping!!! All sides do have a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under strong light. These chunky 1970's 1st press disc's all still retain their original just pressed look and feel!!! With one very, very careful play of these records I can confirm that all three records play superbly with no nasty loud pops, no jumps and no skips, all have near silent run-in groooves and again is near silent between tracks with nice crisp sound through out. As above I would grade these disc's as in a very strong excellent +++ !!! and this is no way an over grade.

The original 1st Press Textured Coloured Lyric Inner sleeves are all in good condition. All text and artwork is very clean, bright and unscuffed!! All three have NO major creases, NO scribble, NO unwanted writing/biro of any sort. Side 1/2 inner and side 3/4 inner has some bottom seam split which was repeared with tape which has now gone but has left a stain. Side 5/6 has a little bit of bottom seam split but never had any tape so no stains. I Grade them all as in good condition and again this is no way an over grade!!

The 1st Press 'Full Size' Poster is in amazing condition and doesn't look to have  been removed from the cover. I grade the poster as in near mint condition!!

The ultra rare earliest 1st press extra insert stiffener is in fantastic near mint condition and doesn't look to have ever been removed from the box!!!

The 'Earliest' 1st Press Made In Gt Britain outer box is in stunning condition!!!  It still retains a perfect box shape and all the corners have NO splits!!!  There is the minimal of edge, corner and spine wear. And it has a perfect and undamaged hinge!!! The front picture on the top of the box is in super condition with barely no yellowing only a little grubbyness to it. The picture is still well stuck down with No rips, tears or creases!!! Even the inside of the box is in superb condition!! I grade the Outer Box as in excellent minus and this box is extremely hard to find in this condition!!

THIS BOX SET IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS, SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS ONE AS ONCE IT'S GONE IT'S GONE!!!
