Description
PLEASE READ FIRST!
I'm having to make this even clearer as people are still buying records I'm grading low and as a 'collection filler', and then complain about the audio quality when they try to play them. As I do not own a record player I VISUALLY GRADE my records, so I cannotguarantee that discs will be click, skip and noise free (although any marks that may cause such problems will be highlighted in the description).
All photos are of the actual item on sale. I do not use stock or 'borrowed' images.
THE BEATLES
Let It Be / You Know My Name
Mega Rare EXPORT Apple Press with P-R Catalogue Number!
They don't come much rarer than this!
On offer here is an insanely rare EXPORT copy of the Beatles final single, Let It Be / You Know My Name (Look Up the Number) on the Apple label. You can tell that this is the export pressing since it carries the catalogue number P-R 5833 rather than the standard R 5833. The P- prefix stood for Parlophone, and was used on all export copies of the single. Interestingly, the disc carries the KT tax code prefix on side 1, which is unusual since these were done away with the year prior.
Do not underestimate just how rare these export copies of the single are. It had always been assumed that all export copies were issued on the Parlophone label, but it was discovered fairly recently that a tiny, tiny run of copies were on Apple, but still used the export P- prefix catalogue number.
The best thing about this disc is the condition! It has a few little, light scuffs here and there but overall has a lovely, sharp, clean shine to it and is looking wonderful! This must be up there with one of the nicest condition copies of this wonderfully rare single out there, and this is your chance to make it yours! Don't miss this! It may be years before another copy comes up for sale!

My Vinyl Grading:
MINT No true preowned disc can be mint. The highest I will ever grade a disc is NM+/M- if it looks untouched and unplayed, but the MINT description will only be for records I personally know have never been played (i.e. I personally bought from new) or for copies that are still sealed. NEAR MINT (NM) For discs that look near flawless and which may have just the slightest, barely visible little whispy marks here and there. EXCELLENT (EX) For discs that still retain a brilliant, clean shine but does have some light scuffs here and there. VERY GOOD (VG) For discs that still look clean and have a nice shine to them, but do have a fair amount of light scuffmarks and/or some light scratches. GOOD (G) For discs that look like they have been loved and have a fair amount of scuffs and surface scratches. Not in terrible condition, but would look like it would play with a lot of crackle. FAIR (F) For discs that may have some life left in them but are pretty trashed with numerous surface scuffs and heavier scuffs and scratches etc POOR (P) For discs that are unplayable and look completely trashed. Discs like this would only ever be offered if they were insanely rare.price rating
