Description
This is a rare, complete and intact New Zealand issue of the 1970 limited edition Let It Be boxed set. Red Apple logo, not green, on sleeve reverse. Overall condition is excellent, with minor localised very slight scuffing of cardboard here and there (see photographs). The condition of the record itself is very good, again with minor (visible but not audible) marks, but no warp, clicks, jumps or scratching on playing through. Slight dust crackle audible at times, would be removable with a professional clean. The book of photographs by Ethan Russell is in exceptional condition, with no spine marks (suggesting it might never have been read). Very slight lifting of embossed varnish coat at rear of book (see photo), about 4cm long, and 0.5cm wide, at spine. Otherwise the book is near mint.
The record appears to have been played a few times perhaps when new, then left unused. Offered not as mint, but as very good +.
