Subsequent pressings had lighter green. The Garrod & Lofhouse laminated sleeve is on heavier card than later pressings, and particular to this and the first boxed set pressing are that the laminate ends just short of the opening edge of the sleeve on both sides. This sleeve introduces the green apple logo on the rear. The inner sleeves were thick white paper with 'Made in England', rounded edges and, 'Patent Nos. 1,125,555'. Later pressings added the EMI logo and further lettering and were usually on thinner paper. Rear of sleeve states: 'This is a new phase Beatles album... essential to the content of the film, LET IT BE was that they performed live for many of the tracks; in comes the warmth and freshness of a live performance; as reproduced for disc by Phil Spector.' An E.M.I. Recording. Track timings do not appear on the release.
