"LET IT BE" WAS THE BEATLES THIRTEENTH AND LAST U.K ALBUM RELEASE BEFORE THEIR UNTIMLEY SPLIT, IT WAS ALSO THE SOUNDTRACK TO THEIR FOURTH FILM.

"LET IT BE" WAS SALVAGED FROM AN ORIGINAL PROJECT WHICH WAS TO BE CALLED "GET BACK". AN ALBUM OF THAT NAME WAS DUE TO HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN AUGUST 1969 BUT THE BEATLES CANCELLED IT AND IT WAS LATER DECIDED TO TIE IN A BOOK, FILM AND ALBUM UNDER THE TITLE "LET IT BE".

RELEASED 8TH MAY 1970 "LET IT BE" WAS FIRST ISSUED AS A SPECIAL BOX SET PACKAGE.... PXS 1....ALTHOUGH THIS NUMBER DOES NOT APPEAR ANYWHERE ON THE RECORD OR PACKAGING..... IT WAS PURELY FOR ORDERING PURPOSES.DESIGNED BY JOHN KOSH THE SPECIAL BOX SET WAS ONLY AVAILABLE FOR A SHORT TIME BEFORE "LET IT BE" WAS RELEASED AS AN ALBUM ONLY.  

OFFERED FOR SALE IS A COMPLETE BOX SET WHICH IS IN  SUPERB CONDITION THROUGHOUT. FEATURING 100% ORIGINAL COMPONENTS ALL OF WHICH ARE INTACT, AND WHICH INCLUDES AN EXCELLENT PLUS 1ST PRESSING VINYL AND AN EXCELLENT PLUS “THE BEATLES GET BACK" 164 PAGE FULL-COLOR BOOK, CALLED “GET BACK.”

THE IST ISSUE DARK GREEN APPLE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION WITH ABSOLUTELY NO UNWANTED MARKS OR WRITING. THESE VIBRANT LABELS HAVE NO SPINDLE MARKS PRESENT. LABELS ARE CLEAN AND RETAIN THEIR ORIGINAL LUSTER WITH PERFECT AND UNSPOILT LETTERING.

THE  VINYL ALSO APPEARS TO BE EXCELLENT +, THIS CLEARLY HASN’T BEEN PLAYED AND THIS IS REFLECTED IN THE VINYL'S APPEARENCE, IN NORMAL DAYLIGHT THERE ARE NO SURFACE MARKS PRESENT AND WHEN EXAMINED UNDER A STRONG LIGHT THERE ARE ONLY A FEW LIGHT INSIGNIFICANT SURFACE HAIRLINES. THE VINYL MAINTAINS ITS ORIGINAL DEEP GLOSS  AND  LIES PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO WARPING AS A NEW VINYL.

COMPLETE WITH ITS ORIGINAL  CORRECT WHITE PLAIN PATENT NO. 1,125,555, INNER SLEEVE WHICH IS SUPERB WITH VIRTUALLY NO SIGNS OF AGE OR HANDLING THE INNER STILL MAINTAINS ITS TRUE WHITE COLOUR AND STILL VERY CRISP.

THE "GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE" ALBUM SLEEVE IS TRULY STUNNING AND IS CERTAINLY A TOP QUALITY EXAMPLE. FIRM AND STRONG AND MAINTAINS ITS ORIGINAL AS NEW GLOSS THE SLEEVE SHOWS ALMOST NO SIGNS OF AGE, WHEN ANGLED IN A CERTAIN LIGHT IT IS POSSIBLE TO DETECT JUST A FEW VERY TINY EDGE WRINKLES AND JUST A FEW SMALL AND LIGHT CREASES AT THE TOP RIGHT CORNER, THE REAR HAS SOME LIGHT INSIGNIFICANT SURFACE SCUFFS WHICH ARE ONLY VISIBLE WHEN THE SLEEVE IS ANGLED. ALL THE EDGES ARE PERFECTLY SQUARE WITH NO WEAR OR RUBBING. THE PERFECT SPINE IS RIGID AND CREASE FREE WITH PERFECT LETTERING . THIS STUNNING "RED APPLE" SLEEVE STILL HAS THE FEELING OF A NEW COVER.

THE OUTER LAMINATED SLIP SLEEVE IS AGAIN A SUPERB EXAMPLE, REMAINING STRONG, FIRM AND RIGID THE OUTER SLEEVE SHOWS JUST  SOME VERY LIGHT BUT SMALL CREASES AND TWO DEEPER CREASES AT THE TOP OF THE FRONT COVER. HOWEVER THERE IS NO LAMINATE LIFT OR SPLITS. THERE IS A SMALL AMOUNT OF EDGE WEAR EVIDENT BUT ONLY TO THE LEFT FRONT EDGE AND EACH CORNER SHOWS THE SMALLEST AMOUNT OF BUMPING (IT SHOULD BE STRESSED THAT NONE OF THIS IS IN ANY WAY SEVERE AND IS FAR FAR, LESS THAN WOULD NORMALLY BE ACCEPTABLE). THE REAR HAS SOME VERY LIGHT INSIGNIFICANT SURFACE SCUFFS, WHICH SEEM FAIRLY INSIGNIFICANT IN COMPARISON TO THE OVERALL CONDITION OF THIS SUPERB ISSUE. THE OUTER SLEEVE HAS REMAINED VERY BRIGHT AND GLOSSY AND CLEAN WITH UNDAMAGED LAMINATE.

THE "GET BACK" BOOK EQUALLY MATCHES THE OTHER COMPONENTS FOR ITS HIGH QUALITY AND GRADES AS NEAR MINT.. SHOWING JUST ONE CORNER CREASE AT THE BOTTOM RIGHT OF THE FRONT COVER. THE REAR COVER MAINTAINS ITS HIGH GLOSS THE BOOK IS TRULY STUNNING. ALL THE PAGES ARE STILL FIRMLY ATTACHED AND ALL ARE SPOTLESSLY CLEAN WITH LITTLE OR NO SIGNS OF HAVING BEEN HANDLED. THE BOOK SPINE IS PERFECT  RIGID AND STRONG WITH NO "BUMPING" TO THE ENDS AND ABSOLUTELY NO WEAR. I DOUBT THIS HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE BOX MORE THAN A FEW TIMES OVER THE YEARS. THE BINDING HAS ABSOLUTELY NO SIGNS OF IT BEING OPENED AND CLOSED.

THE FLIMSEY OUTER TRAY  IS A SUPERB EXAMPLE AND GIVEN THAT THESE DIDNT TEND TO SURVIVE THAT WELL THIS ONE IS AN EXCEPTION TO THAT. COMPLETELY INTACT WITH PERFECT INNER FLAPS WHICH SHOW JUST MILD SCUFFS AND CREASES IT IS STILL FIRM AND STRONG AS ORIGINALLY MANUFACTURED. THE TRAY DOES NOT EVEN SHOW MANY USUAL SIGNS OF EDGE RUBBING FROM HAVING BEEN REMOVED FROM THE OUTER SLEEVE.

THE INNER TRAY IS EXCELLENT, AGAIN INTACT AND STILL VERY FIRM AND STRONG. THE INNER TRAY IS JUST AS GOOD AS THE OUTER ONE. BOTH TRAYS HAVE MAINTAINED THIER ORIGINAL DEEP BLACK COLOUR AND ALMOST DO NOT DISPLAY THE USUAL WHITENING CAUSED BY THE TRAYS BEING REMOVED FROM THE OUTER SLEEVE.

EACH AND EVERY COMPONENT OF THIS SUPERB BOX SET IS ORIGINAL AND NO PART HAS BEEN "TOUCHED UP" IN ANY WAY. THIS SET HAS CLEARLY NOT BEEN OVERHANDLED OVER THE YEARS AND HAS MOST DEFINITELY BEEN CAREFULLY STORED AND WELL LOOKED AFTER AND THIS WITHOUT DOUBT HAS HELPED TO KEEP THIS SET IN SUCH A GREAT CONDITION.

THIS IS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO AQUIRE THIS MOST SOUGHT AFTER AND HIGHLY COLLECTABLE UK APPLE BOX SET WHICH OFFERS GREAT VINYL, TRULY STUNNING RED APPLE ALBUM SLEEVE AND NEAR MINT AND BEAUTIFUL "GET BACK" BOOK.

IT IS INCREDIBLY HARD TO FIND THE BEATLES LET IT BE SET IN SUCH GREAT CONDITION!!!
