ALSO INCLUDES A For Auction here is THE UK LP ''  LET IT BE " BY THE BEATLES  CAT NO PXS1 IN IT'S PRESENTATION BOX WITH THE GET BACK BOOK

ORIGINALLY CONCIEVED AS THE GET BACK ALBUM FROM MAY 1969 THIS LP WENT THROUGH MUCH EVOLUTION (MOST OF IT NEGATIVE) BEFORE IT FINALLY APPEARED AS A PRESENTATION SET TO CO-INCIDE WITH THE "LET IT BE" FILM IN SPRING 1970. CONCEIVED AS A "LIVE IN THE STUDIO" ALBUM EVEN LIP SERVICE TO THIS CONCEPT WENT TOTALLY OUT OF THE WINDOW WHEN THE TAPES WERE GIVEN TO PHIL SPECTOR WHOSE "WALL OF SOUND" ADDITIONS PUT THE FINAL NAIL IN THE COFFIN OF WHAT COULD HAVE OTHERWISE BEEN AN INTERESTING AND WORTHWHILE PROJECT (THERE'S NOT MUCH WRONG WITH MANY OF THE SONGS THATS FOR SURE!). 

WHEN FINALLY RELEASED IN MAY 1970 THIS ALBUM WAS CONTRAVERSIALLY RELEASED AS PART OF A PRESENTATIONAL BOX SET WITH A BOOK CALLED  GET BACK. THIS MADE IT MORE EXPENSIVE THAN A NORMAL LP AND IT AFFECTED SALES AND CAUSED FURTHER DISCONTENT WITHIN THE GROUP.   THE ORIGINAL ALBUM COVER INCLUDED IN THE PRESENTATION BOX HAD A RED APPLE LOGO ON THE REAR ALTHOUGH SOME PRESENTATION BOXES HAD EXPORT "PPCS" PARLOPHONE LOGO SLEEVES ALTHOUGH THE RECORD LABELS THEMSELVES WERE STILL APPLE ONES. THE MATRICIES FOR THE BOX SET ISSUES WERE -2U -2U ALTHOUGH SOME RARE CROSSOVER MATRICIES -2U -3U AND -3U -2U ALSO EXSISTED BOTH WITHIN THE BOX SET ISSUES AND SHORTLY AFTER THE BOX SET WAS DISCONTINUED AROUND NOVEMBER 1970. THE BOX, IT'S COVER AND THE TRAY WERE VERY FLIMSY, NOT CONSTRUCTED FOR ANY KIND OF USE AT ALL  AND SO QUICKLY FELL INTO DISREPARE AND THEN OFTEN SIMPLY DISCARDED, LEAVING JUST THE ALBUM ITSELF AND THE BOOK, AS SUCH THEY ARE INCREDIBLY RARE AND HIGHLY SORT AFTER ITEMS AND SO COPIES ARE AMOUNGST THE MOST DESIRABLE  BEATLE RARITIES.

AFTER DISCONTINUATION THE ALBUM WAS AVAILABLE ON IT'S OWN BUT THIS TIME WITH A GREEN APPLE ON THE REAR AND MARTICIES FOR THIS ALBUM  ARE USUALLY -3 -3 EXCEPT FOR SOME EARLY COPIES WHICH MAY HAVE THE RARE CROSS OVER MATRICIES I'VE ALREADY MENTIONED.

ONE FINAL NOTE FOR US ANORAKS OUT THERE, THIS LP CONTAINS THE LAST SONG RECORDED NEW BY THE BEATLES PRIOR TO ANTHOLOGY, THAT IS GEORGE'S "I ME MINE" RECORDED AROUND 3RD JAN 1970 BUT WITH ONLY GEORGE, PAUL AND RINGO AT THE SESSION.  DR WINSTON WAS SCHEDULDED TO TURN UP BUT WAS PROBABLY STILL HAVING A HAPPY NEW YEAR.........

CONDITION

OUTER SLIP CASE: A LOVELY EXAMPLE, NO SERIOUS FAULTS. VERY FLIMSY AND OFTEN SUFFERS BADLY BUT THIS ONE GRADES EX-  AND HAS TO BE ONE OF THE BETTER EXAMPLES.

OUTER TRAY: AGAIN VERY FLIMSY BUT THIS IS ONE OF THE BETTER EXAMPLES, GRADES VG TO VG+ THE INNER TRAY IS THE ONLY THING THAT IS MISSING.

BOOK: LOOKS GREAT, NO LOOSE OR MISSING PAGES THAT I CAN DETECT, THESE BOOKS OFTEN START TO BECOME UNGLUED AND START TO LOSE PAGES SO AGAIN A GREAT EXAMPLE, A LITTLE MUSTY ON ON OR TWO OF THE FRONT PAGES OTHERWISE WOULD GRADE EX+ TO NEAR MINT, BUT STILL A STRONG EX!

SLEEVE: RED APPLE SLEEVE IS A LOVELY EXAMPLE, NO MAJOR FAULTS, NOT MANY CREASES, AGAIN A STRONG EX TO EX PLUS, YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED!

LABELS: THE ODD SPINDLE MARK BUT NO WRITINGS OR FAULTS, EX TO EX PLUS CONDITION.

VINYL: WOW, STUNNING, SIMPLY STUNNING, THE RARE TRANSITION -3u -2u MATRICIES VINYL VISUALLY HAS JUST  THE  ODD WISPY MARKS  WHEN EXAMINED UNDER A STRONG LIGHT, BUT NOT FAR OFF OF NEAR MINT SO EX PLUS EASY, YOU WILL BE AMAZED!!! 

INNER SLEEVE: CORRECT PLAIN WHITE INNER WITH THE CORRECT PATENTS NO IN BLACK ON THE REAR WHICH SHOWS THIS TO BE TRUE AND CORRECT FOR THIS ISSUE, NO SPLITS, LOVELY, EXCELLENT 

A TRUELY STUNNING EXANPLE OF A VERY RARE ITEM, THESE PRESENTATION BOXES WERE OF INCREDIBLY FLIMSY CONSTRUCTION AND OF THOSE FEW THAT DID SURVIVE MOST ARE IN POOR CONDITION, THIS ONE IS NOT, FAR FROM IT. IT'S ONLY FAULT IS THE MISSING INNER TRAY WHICH IS REFLECTED IN THE BUY IT NOW PRICE OF £ 180, A TOTALLY COMPLETE EXAMPLE IN THE CONDITION THAT IS ONE IS IN WOULD LIKELY FETCH IN EXCESS OF GBP 300, SO TAKE YOUR CHANCE WHILE YOU CAN, THIS COULD SELL QUICKY!!

PAYMENTS BY PAYPAL ARE PREFERRED BUT I ALSO ACCEPT OTHER METHODS.

THIS IS TO ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY ATTEMPT TO CLAIM BACK THE PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL EVEN AFTER ACTUALLY HAVING RECEIVED THE ITEM.

THIS OBVIOUSLY HAS HAD THE RESULT OF INCREASING MY COSTS FOR POSTING AND PACKING AND I AM VERY SORRY FOR THIS BUT PAYPAL OFFER NO PROTECTION FOR SELLERS UNLESS THERE IS PROOF OF DELIVERY!! PROOF OF POSTING WOULD SEEM INSUFFICIENT TO THEM AND I HAVE FOUND THIS OUT THE HARD WAY..

DUE TO THE BEHAVIOUR OF THIS SAME BUYER PAYPAL PAYMENTS WILL ALSO NOT BE ACCEPTED FROM BUYERS WHO DO NOT ALLOW THEIR FEEDBACK TO READ, SO IF YOU FALL INTO THIS CATEGORY PLEASE DO NOT BID ON MY ITEMS UNLESS YOU CAN PAY BY ANOTHER METHOD…….
