Description
THE BEATLES - 'LET IT BE'/'YOU KNOW MY NAME (LOOK UP THE NUMBER)'
*NEAR MINT* 1970 UK 1st PRESSING P/S 45
This exquisite 1970 solid centred 1st pressing is on the dark green Apple label: R 5833
Housed in its original flipback picture cover which is printed on a semi-glossy card, unlike most which are 100% matt finished.
Matrix numbers: 7YCE 21407-1U & 7YCE 21408-1U
'APPLES 1002 A-1' is xxxed out in the side 2 run-out.
Stamper codes: 9/RRA & 6/GHA
CONDITION
Labels: 1. MINT 2. NEAR MINT
A superb 'as new' set with just a single tiny spindle mark to the side 2 centre hole (which could have been made whilst stacking in the factory), but none on side 1.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Both sides of this immaculate copy appear 'as new' and MINT in strong daylight with no visual marks or blemishes whatsoever.
Close examination directly beneath my halogen desk lamp reveals just a few extremely insignificant wispy hairlines but no other traces of wear.
Audio: NEAR MINT
This exquisite copy has possibly been played only once and my careful playcheck at volume revealed no singificant audible faults or wear to either side. Apart from a touch of light background on the quiet beginning of 'Let It Be', there is little else to fault on this superior copy.
Cover: EXCELLENT
This rarely seen variant is in superb condition with just the unavoidable light disc impression and a touch of light handling wear. However, there are no heavy creases, tears, splits or writing to any area. Compare your copy.
- Strict & grading under strong daylight & directly beneath a halogen desk lamp to UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.
