MEGA RARE BEATLES 1969 'GET BACK' **MINT PRISTINE** LP WITH 8 PAGE APPLE MEMORANDUM AND RARE POSTER ! POSTMARKED FROM APPLE JULY 31 1969 !! A RARE TREASURE !!!

This is a truly unique opportunity to add this fantasy piece of Beatles history, to your collection. Rarely seen by the public and only addressed to a handful of music icons, dated and documented to have imaginably been sent to music legend Sid Bernstein !!

Mega Rare and MINT !! Not many of these are known to be around and are rarely seen for sale anywhere Across the Universe.

The set includes an Apple mailer dated July 31 1969. The package has a post from Abbey Road Station. The recipient of the package is addressed to Sid Bernstein. The LP has white label promo sticker with acetate-typed label of songs. The pressing number is PSC 7080. The matrix number on the wax PCS-7080-2 A and PCS-7080-2 B. The package includes a *MINT* giant 2’ x 3’ poster (only opened to take the above photo) and 8 pages promo memorandum typed on Apple paper, from Mal Evens. The condition of the package is remarkable, to say the least. The outer mailer dated from Apple Records is VG+ with no rips and no writing, The LP is *MINT* unplayed, the labels are *PRISTINE MINT*. The rare promo poster is *MINT*. A beautiful piece untouched since new, now 35 years old, to add to your collection !!
I do enjoy all the comments and info I've received with this amazing listing, but I do know what this is, and I do know if it were one of the actual few genuine hand-written acetate records Apple produced, it would most likely be selling for tens of thousands of dollars, or in a museum. That being said, this rare reproduced item has sold on eBay for over $1350 in the past, and not as MINT pristine as this one !

This is the ultimate BEATLES promo package for the 'Let it Be' album when it was intended to be released originally as 'Get Back'...

The following items are included:
1) The 'Get Back' album, as originally envisioned by the Beatles before the Phil Spector production. Track listing: One After 909, Don't Let Me Down, Dig a Pony, I've Got a Feeling, Get Back, For You Blue, Teddy Boy, Two of Us On Our Way Home, Dig It, Let it Be, and the Long and Winding Road. The cover is absolutely Pristine MINT with sharp corners. The MINT record appears to have never had a needle on it !!
2) Poster: "Fresh Beatles! Get Back" Huge 2' x 3' is MINT (Only opened to take the photo for this ad, otherwise never touched ever !!)
3) Stunning 8 page memorandum by Mal Evans. Subject: The Beatles Get Back, An Exclusive New Album Report. Dated 17/07/69. *MINT*
4) Apple Records mailing envelope that imaginably was used to send out this rare Press Kit.     It's dated and addressed to Sid Bernstein and postmarked 31 July 1969 Abbey Road Station.
    'The Beatles as nature intended' is printed on the bottom front of the mailer.
Matrix: Etched in the wax: 'PCS-7080-2 A' and 'PCS-7080-2 B' with George + Geoff' (for Producer George Martin + Engineer Geoff Emerick)

The 'Get Back' album, often dubbed 'The Lost Beatles Album', was suppose to be released in July of 1969, but the Beatles had moved on and wiped their hands clean of the mess. 'Abbey Road' was then bumped up on the release schedule, while 'Get Back' was then shelved.
That next year, The Beatles got the tapes and passed them on to Phil Spector, who added strings, choirs, and lots of the production items that made him one of the 1960s most famous producers. Nevertheless, the now newly re-titled, 'Let It Be', was released on May 8, 1970 as The Beatles final album. Paul McCartney had left the band a month earlier, sadly therefore effectively ending The Beatles.
During the time that the 'Get Back' project was on hold for a year, the Beatles actually broke up, this time John Lennon being the one to quit. However, John was persuaded to keep quiet about the dissolution of the group until new manager Allen Klein could re-negotiate their contract with Capitol Records. By this time nobody, especially the Beatles themselves, wanted to touch the 'Get Back' project. So, Klein brought in legendary producer Phil Spector to piece an album together out of the virtual miles and miles of tape. Although Spector's "wall of sound" production might seem contrary to the original concept of "The Beatles As Nature Intended," Spector did an admirable job considering what he had to work with. Plus, his work must have pleased at least two Beatles, since Lennon and Harrison employed Spector well into the ‘70s as producer on solo albums. By this time, the title of the project had changed from "Get Back" (which had been released as a single in 1969) to "Let It Be". Phil Spector finished the re-production of the "Get Back" tapes on April 2nd and the album, "Let It Be" was released on May 8th 1970. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Shipping is Lightning-Fast via USPS 2/3 Day Priority Mail, packed safely in a large box to insure safe arrival anywhere in the world !!

The Get Back album was supposed to be released in July 1969, but the Beatles had moved on and wiped their hands clean of the mess. And things were going relatively well on the recording of Abbey Road. The band got along, inspiring each other, just like in the old days. Just like Get Back was supposed to. So, Abbey Road was bumped up on the release schedule, and Get Back was shelved.

A year after the Beatles gave Johns the tapes, they passed them on to Phil Spector, who added strings, choirs and lots of the production goop that made him one of the ‘60s’ most famous producers. But Spector’s more-is-more approach that sounded so great on "Then He Kissed Me" and "Be My Baby" buried Beatles songs like "The Long and Winding Road" and "Across the Universe." Nevertheless, the newly retitled Let It Be was released on May 8, 1970, as the group’s final album. Paul McCartney had left the band a month earlier, effectively ending the Beatles.
