Description
This is the first non-box set pressing of Let It Be with red apple on rear of sleeve
The very first UK issue was the box set edition (LP + book in a slipcase). It used the same red-apple sleeve design
When Apple/EMI began selling the LP separately (without the box), they initially used leftover sleeves with the red apple on the rear. Those early standalone copies commonly have -3U matrices like this copy
Shortly after, the sleeve artwork was revised to feature a green apple on the back, which became the long-term standard, making the red apple sleeve rare and collectible
Vinyl is graded as Excellent+ verging on Near Mint
There are some very minor hairlines on both sides of the vinyl but they are only noticeable under intense light
Sleeve is graded as Very Good - there is some edgewear and wear at the opening - see pics for further information
Original inner is in Excellent condition
Matrix numbers side 1: YEX 773-3U
Matrix numbers side 2: YEX 774-3U
