This disc would have most likely originated from a first issue 'Let It Be' box set PXS1. However, it has, one way or another, ended up on its own, having even been abandoned by its original 'Red Apple' cover. Please read the detailed description to see if it might be of interest 2U. I have a few more Sample/Demo discs listed, so please take a look. 


Audio:
VG+
Sound quality from the instruments and vocals is a crystal clear, EX+, downgraded to VG+ due to some careless marks that cause a bit of crackle and randoms 'pops' mainly on the opening tracks of both sides. There are no skips or stalls. The majority of tracks play without any issues. A great sounding copy.

Visually:
VG
This is a disc that has clearly been played on decent equipment but has not been handled carefully once off the turntable. Both sides have a lot of light marks and scuffs but still display a good gloss lustre.  


Labels:
EX+
Near perfect condition, with expected spindle trails, both sides. There is a genuine 'Factory Sample' sticker which someone has 'picked at' in an attempted to remove it. However, it has survived without any missing paper. A small section has lifted and split slightly but could be glued back down if you choose to do so.


Cover:
VG
This is a 'Green Apple' cover which is fully intact but rather tired, all round, but will protect the disc until you can find a 'Red' or 'Parlophone Export' one. Both were used in the 'Box set'

Inner sleeve:
EX
This is the correct plain white inner, originally supplied with this disc. Age toned and the beginnings of a split one one side seam, otherwise in great condition
