BEATLES "LET IT BE"
PXS 1 BOX SET
"LET IT BE" WAS THE BEATLES THIRTEENTH AND LAST U.K ALBUM RELEASE BEFORE THEIR UNTIMLEY SPLIT, IT WAS ALSO THE SOUNDTRACKTO THEIR FOURTH FILM.
"LET IT BE" WAS SALVAGED FROM AN ORIGINAL PROJECT WHICH WAS TO BE CALLED "GET BACK". AN ALBUM OF THAT NAME WAS DUE TO HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN AUGUST 1969 BUT THE BEATLES CANCELLED IT AND IT WAS LATER DECIDED TO TIE IN A BOOK, FILM AND ALBUM UNDER THE TITLE "LET IT BE".
RELEASED 8TH MAY 1970 "LET IT BE" WAS FIRST ISSUED AS A SPECIAL BOX SET PACKAGE.... PXS 1..... ALTHOUGH THIS NUMBER DOES NOT APPEAR ANYWHERE ON THE RECORD OR PACKAGING..... IT WAS PURELY FOR ORDERING PURPOSES. DESIGNED BY JOHN KOSH THE SPECIAL BOX SET WAS ONLY AVAILABLE FOR A SHORT TIME BEFORE "LET IT BE" WAS RELEASED AS AN ALBUM ONLY.

THE DARK GREEN APPLE LABELS TO BOTH SIDES ARE IN STUNNING CONDITION WITH ABSOLUTELY NO UNWANTED MARKS OR WRITING. LABELS HAVE JUST VERY LIGHT AND MINIMAL SPINDLE MARKS PRESENT AND IT HAS TO BE STRESSED THAT THESE ARE MINIMAL AND ONLY VISIBLE UNDER A STRONG LIGHT. LABELS ARE CLEAN AND RETAIN THEIR ORIGINAL LUSTRE.
THE GLOSSY VINYL IS SUPERB WITH JUST VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL SURFACE MARKS... NON ARE AGGRESSIVE. THIS HASNT SEEN TOO MUCH PLAY AND VISUALLY LOOKS VERY APPEALING.
SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB WITH NO DISTORTION TO AUDIO.
COMPLETE WITH ORIGINAL INNER WHICH IS EXCELLENT.
THE "GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE" SLEEVE IS EXCELLENT. IT DISPLAYS JUST LIGHT CREASING AND SOME MINOR CORNER AND EDGE WEAR BUT NOTHING MORE THAN WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE GIVEN AGE. THE SLEEVE IS CLEAN AND SHINY WITH NO LAMINATE LIFT AND IS FREE FROM ANY WRITING E.T.C.... SLEEVE CARRIES THE "RED APPLE" LOGO
THE OUTER LAMINATED SLIP SLEEVE IS AGAIN EXCELLENT WITH JUST VERY LIGHT CREASING, SOME EDGE WEAR AND JUST LIGHT SIGNS OF HANDLING. IT IS INTACT AND AGAIN FREE FROM MARKS OR WRITING.
THE "GET BACK" BOOK IS IN GREAT CONDITION. IT IS ALSO INTACT AND ALL PAGES ARE STILL INTACT (IT IS VERY COMMON FOR THESE TO COME LOOSE) THE BOOK SHOWS JUST VERY LIGHT SIGNS OF HANDLING AND IS VERY CLEAN.
THE FLIMSEY OUTER TRAY HAS SURVIVED QUITE WELL, IT DOES HAVE SOME EDGE AND CORNER WEAR PARTICULARLY TO ONE SIDE AND THERE IS A SMALL TEAR TO THE TO LIP. IT ALSO DISLAYS THE USUAL RUBBING MARKS FROM TRAY BEEN REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE. HOWEVER THE TRAY IS INTACT AND OVERALL IT IS STILL VERY GOOD.
THE INNER TRAY WHICH IS EQUALLY AS FLIMSEY AS THE OUTER HAS ALSO SURVIVED REALLY WELL. IT AGAIN DISPALYS THE SAME RUBBING MARKS AND ALSO HAS A SMALL TEAR TO THE TOP LEFT CORNER BUT AGAIN THIS IS REALLY GOOD GIVEN AGE.... NEITHER TRAY TENDED TO SURVIVE THAT WELL.
OVERALL THIS IS A REALLY GREAT EXAMPLE OF THIS MUCH SOUGHT AFTER BOX SET WHICH IS COMPLETE IN EVERYWAY AND WHICH DELIVERS SUPERB AUDIO.
