Description
THE BEATLES
" LET IT BE "
BOX SET WITH BOOK
ORIGINAL 1970 1st UK PRESS ON THE APPLE LABEL
PXS 1 STEREO
THIS IS THE 1st PRESS CAT No. AND IS NOT REPEATED ON THE PACKAGING
MATRIX No's - YEX 773 - 2U / YEX 774 - 2U
THE FULLY LAMINATED GARROD & LOFTHOUSE ( PATENT PENDING ) OUTER SLEEVE HAS MODERATE GENERAL HANDLING / STORAGE WEAR INCLUDING LIGHT EDGE RUBBING , CORNER BUMPS , SMALL LAMINATE CREASES ALL ROUND AND SEVERE LAMINATE LIFT TO BOTTOM EDGE BUT IS FULLY INTACT AND SERVICABLE
THE INNER RETAINING TRAY HAS LIGHT RUBBING TO ALL EDGES AND CREASES TO THE FLAPS BUT AGAIN THIS IS FULLY INTACT AND SERVICABLE
THE BOOK RETAINING TRAY IS NOT ORIGINAL - I MADE THIS UP MYSELF TO MAINTAIN THE INTEGRITY OF THE BOOK DURING POSTAGE ( IT DOES A GOOD JOB BUT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT THE PROPER THING )
THE BOOK ITSELF IS COMPLETE WITH ALL 164 PAGES BUT AS WITH MOST OF THESE POORLY MADE BOOKS NEARLY ALL THE PAGES HAVE COME ADRIFT FROM THE SPINE BUT APART FROM THAT IT IS IN LOVELY CONDITION WITH NO TEARS , WRITING OR ANY SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE AT ALL
( A GOOD BOOK BINDER WOULD SOON SORT IT OUT )
I HAVE SHOWN IT WRAPPED IN CLING-FILM TO MAINTAIN ITS INTEGRITY
THE CREASES ARE THE CLING-FILM NOT THE COVER
THE ALBUM SLEEVE ( WITH RED APPLE ) IS LOOKING VERY TIRED WITH SEVERAL LAMINATE CREASES AND SMALL TEARS BUT IS FULLY INTACT AND SERVICABLE
NICE CLEAN 1st PRESS DARK APPLE LABELS WITH LIGHT SPINDLE TRACE WHEN ANGLED TO THE LIGHT
LOVELY BRIGHT FULL LUSTRE VINYL AND WHEN ANGLED TO STRONG LIGHT REVEALS JUST A HAND FULL OF VERY LIGHT SURFACE NEEDLE / HANDLING HAIRLINE MARKS TO BOTH SIDES
SUPER STEREO PLAYBACK WITH JUST A COUPLE OF VERY LIGHT TICS AND VERY OCCASIONAL SURFACE NOISE IN VG++ CONDITION
GENEROUS MULTI ITEM POSTAL DISCOUNT
