WOW  FULLY COMPLETE WITH  SLIPCASE BOTH ORIGINAL OUTER AND INNER TRAYS, BOOK 2U2U VINYL AND RED APPLE  SLEEVE  ....THIS IS NOT ONLY A COPY OF THE INCREASINGLY RARE & SOUGHT AFTER UK " PXS 1 " LET IT BE BOX SET IT IS ALSO EASILY ONE OF THE BETTER PACKAGED BOX SETS I HAVE SEEN !!

family:

 JUST LOOK AT THE PICS...

 THESE UK BOX SETS WERE VERY FLIMSY AND THE MAJORITY DISINTEGRATED NOT LONG AFTER PURCHASE LEAVING JUST THE BOOK AND THE LP, ACCORDINGLY COPIES IN ALMOST ANY CONDITION THAT SURVIVE TODAY ARE HIGHLY PRIZED BUT WHAT PRICE TO FIND ONE LIKE THIS....

WHILE PRICES FOR MANY OTHER ITEMS HAVE STAGNATED OR EVEN PLUMETED IN THE PAST YEAR OF SO THESE BOX SETS SEEM TO HAVE SHOT UP IN VALUE WHICH NO DOUBT REFLECTS THE DEMAND OF PEOPLE WHO WANT TO OBTAIN THIS INCREASINGLY RARE ITEM.

THIS COULD BE ONE OF YOUR LAST CHANCES TO OWN A COPY OF ONE OF THESE IN THIS KIND OF CONDITION....DON'T MISS OUT !    

PLEASE NOTE I GO ON VACATION ON 3OTH DECEMBER SO ITEMS WILL NOT BE SENT OUT FOR PAYMENTS MADE AFTER 10AM GMT 29TH DECEMBER UNTIL I RETURN IN THE MIDDLE OF JANUARY !

 POSTAGE NOTE: FOR DOMESTIC UK BIDDERS ALL ITEMS THAT SELL  WILL NOW BE SENT  SIGNED FOR DELIVERY. THIS IS GBP 5.99 FOR THIS ITEM  If any potential bidders do not agree with this then please DO NOT BID  AS THIS IS TO PREVENT ANY POSSIBLE FRAUDULANT CLAIMS OF NON RECEIPT. FOR INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLS SEE MY FURTHER NOTES BELOW  

FOR BIDDERS OUTSIDE UK THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.......myreturns policy only applies to UK outside of UK buyer has to cover the return postage! FOR INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT due to ebays revised " buyer " protection policy even more sellers will start to refuse to sell internationally. I however will still sell internationally but i reserve the right to not to complete any international transaction if the buyer has any bad or witheld feedback or for any other reason that I choose and this is especially so for items that sell for near to GBP 150 or higher. So if you are an international bidder and win one of my auctions and then find I have completed the transaction elsewhere this will be because the new ebay/paypal policy now makes it almost impossible for sellers to sell safely overseas, thank you

FOR BIDDERS WITH ZERO FEEDBACK THIS IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT...   I have recently been the victim of serveral spurious bids from several different members (usually based in the Russian Federation). Please note that if you win any of my items and have zero feedback I will ask you for immediate payment or for you to email and immediately confirm that you were a genuine bidder. Failiure to meet either of those critiera will result in the item being  offered to the next highest bidder without further delay. thank you. 

WHEN FIRST ISSUED IN MAY 1970 THIS LP WAS RELEASED WITH A SPECIALLY DESIGNED  JOHN KOSH  PRESENTATION BOX WITH THE " GET BACK " BOOK WITH THE DESIGNATION " PXS 1

THE LP SLEEVE WITHIN WAS USUALLY  IDENTIFIED BY THE RED APPLE ON THE REAR  HOWEVER FOR SOME REASON A FEW BOX SETS DID ALSO COME WITH THE EXPORT PARLOPHONE PPCS SLEEVE BUT HOUSING A STANDARD APPLE LABELLED DISC.AND TOWARDS THE END OF THE BOX SET ISSUES THEY WERE ALSO ISSUED WITH THE STANDARD GREEN APPLE SLEEVES LIKE HIS ONE ( ALTHOUGH MANY HAVE - AND CONTINUE TO - ASSURED ME THAT WHEN THEY BOUGHT THEIR BOX SETS AT THE TIME OF RELEASE THAT THEY ALSO CAME WITH THE GREEN APPLE SLEEVES,  I AM BECOMING MORE CONVINCED  )

THE FIRST PRESSED VINYL MATRIX WAS USUALLY -2U -2U HOWEVER TOWARDS THE END OF THE BOX SET RUN EMI MOVED TO USING THE -3U -3U MATRIX DISCS AND EN ROUTE SOME RARE BOX SET COPIES CARRY THE TRANSITIONAL -2U -3U OR -3U -2U CROSSOVER MATRICIES.

THE WHOLE GET BACK/ LET IT BE PROJECT WAS TROUBLESUM FOR THE BEATLES FROM START TO FINISH. ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED TO BE RELEASED AS THE " GET BACK " LP AROUND JULY 1969 ARTWORK WAS PRODUCED HARKING BACK TO THE BEATLES FIRST LP " PLEASE PLEASE ME " ( THE ANGUS MCBEAN PHOTOS SUBSEQUENTLY BEING DUSTED OFF AND RE-USED ON THE 62-66 67-70 COMPILATIONS OF 1973 ) HOWEVER THE BEATLES COULDN'T AGREE ABOUT THE GLYN JOHNS MIX WHICH, ALTHOUGH REMAINED FAITHFUL TO THE PROJECT, WAS VERY MUCH WARTS AND ALL SO THE RELEASE ( SADLY ) WAS SHELVED.

SOME MONTHS LATER   THE LP  WAS FARMED OUT TO PHIL SPECTOR WHO BOTH JOHN AND GEORGE HAD BECOME QUITE PALLY WITH  AND THE SUBSEQUENT END RESULT, TO BE FRANK , WAS A BOTCH WHICH ALMOST COMPLETLY DEFEATED THE ENTIRE  OBJECT OF THE " LIVE IN THE STUDIO " PROJECT. THIS CREATED FURTHER FRICTION WITHIN THE GROUP.

WITH SOME NEW MIXES AND OVERDUBS AND PHILLY SOUND AT THE CONTROLS THE WHOLE PACKAGE WAS RE-VAMPED BUT NOT ONLY WAS THE RECORD STILL PROBLEMATIC THE NEW PACKAGE WAS TOO,  BEING FAR MORE EXPENSIVE THAN A STANDARD UK LP RELEASE WHICH WAS REGARDED AS A RETARDED TO SALES ( ALTHOUGH IT STILL MADE NUMBER ONE IN THE UK LP CHARTS AND STAYED THERE FOR SOME WEEKS ). IT MAY AS A RESULT OF A COMPOMISE TO CUT COSTS THAT RESULTED IN THE FLIMSY NATURE OF THE CONSTRUCTION WHICH MEANT THAT THE INNER TRAYS WERE NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO SUPPORT THE BOOK FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME. AS A RESULT MANY PACKAGES JUST DISINTERGATED OVER A SHORT PERIOD AND WERE DISCARDED, ALL THAT REMAINED WOULD BE THE BOOK ( WHICH IS ALSO FLIMSY AND SHEDS LEAVES WORSE THAN AN OAK IN AUTUMN ) AND THE RED APPLE SLEEVED LP.

AND IF THAT WASN'T ENOUGH THE DELAYED RELEASE MEANT THERE WAS A CLASH BETWEEN THIS AND THE ALREADY SCHEDULED RELEASE OF THE " MCCARTNEY " LP. THIS MAY HAVE BEEN THE FINAL STRAW FOR PAUL WHO ANNOUCED TO THE WORLD HE HAD QUIT THE GROUP IN APRIL, A MONTH PRIOR TO RELEASE.

DESPITE ALL THIS ( AND THE MIXED REVIEWS AT THE TIME ) THE QUALITY OF MANY OF THE SONGS CANNOT BE DENIED. McCARTNEY ESPECIALLY IS IN THE FORM OF HIS LIFE HERE.

FINALLY IN NOVEMBER 1970 THE UNSATISFACTORY UK BOX SET PACKAGING WAS DISCONTINUED AND JUST THE GREEN APPLE " LOGO  SLEEVED LP REMAINS MORE OR LESS TILL THIS DAY.

IT IS OFTEN SAID THAT THE BEATLES LAST RECORDED LP WAS THE MUCH SLICKER AND MORE SATISFACTORY " ABBEY ROAD " AND THIS IS PARTLY TRUE. HOWEVER AFTER THE BATTON WAS PASSED TO PHIL SPECTOR VARIOUS MEMBERS OF THE GROUP ADDED BITS TO THE RECORDINGS OF " LET IT BE " WELL INTO 1970, INDEED THE LAST BEATLE SONG EVER RECORDED " I ME MINE " WAS LAID DOWN ON 3RD JANUARY 1970, ALBIET WITH ONLY PAUL GEORGE AND RINGO PRESENT.

(Please note that whilst I try to endeavour to adhere to strict RC gradings I will never describe ANYTHING AS MINT even when I think it to be so. As far as I am concerned any secondhand item by definition cannot be mint. However if I believe an item to be Mint  I will instead either use the terms Near Mint, mint minus, or in archive or vault condition. When I use these terms you know that in my opinion this is in effect a de-facto Mint grade )

INSURANCE INCLUDED IN P&P PRICE DEPENDING ON FINAL SALE VALUE...

                                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PAYMENTS BY PAYPAL ARE PREFERRED BUT I ALSO ACCEPT OTHER METHODS. I ALSO POST WORLDWIDE (PLS APPLY FOR RATES) BUT DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH A DISREPUTABLE BUYER IN JAPAN (EBAY WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO NAME THEM) , FOR ALL PAYMENTS MADE VIA PAYPAL THE ITEM WILL ONLY BE SENT BOTH TO THE UK AND WORLDWIDE BY RECORDED OR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR DELIVERY. 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…….COST VIA INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR MAIL TO EUROPE FOR A SINGLE LP IS USUALLY GBP 9.99 AND TO THE USA/REST OF THE WORLD GBP 13.99 FOR A SINGLE LP AND 16.99 FOR A DOUBLE BASED ON A "DECLARED" VALUE OF UNDER GBP 50... 

I EXPECT THIS BOX SET ITEM TO BE AROUND G 14.99 TO EUROPE AND 24.99 TO U.S.A. AND OTHER DESTINATIONS
