Description
The Beatles Let It Be Canadian 1970 Box set LP book. SOAL-6351 VG+ RARE. Condition is Used.
The Canadian "Let It Be" boxed set was released in May 1970. This LP was pressed simultaneously by both RCA and Compo for Capitol Records Canada. This copy was pressed by RCA as indicated by the large pressing ring. The box set consists of an outer slip cover, inner slip sleeve, a tray to hold the book, the "Let It Be" book imported from the UK, the "Let It Be" LP cover and the disc itself. All parts of this box set are original.
For a single LP the box set was expensive selling for approximately twice the price or more of a regular album. As a result sales were compromised and within 18 months the LP by itself was reissued as a single LP with the new catalogue number of SW- 6386. There is also evidence that sluggish sales of the box set resulted in the original LP being removed from the box and sold separately or sold just with the book.
The slip cover and LP are prone to wear, the tray is often missing and the book's glued binding easily results in loose pages. Complete sets in collectible condition, such as this one, are scarce.
The Canadian "Let It Be" boxed set SOAL-6351 is the rarest Beatles issue in the Capitol 6000 series and as an original limited release this LP box set qualifies as a rare Beatles' collectible.
