Original Apple Records promotional DJ radio station copy of the 12th and last Beatles studio album "Let It Be" released on May 18, 1970 in a still factory sealed condition. While Capitol Records was accepting pre-orders for the album, the total of 3.7 millions which at the time was the highest for any album in the history of the US recording industry, these promotional copies were shipped to the media and radio stations. Original cardboard gatefold cover with a white "Promotional Copy Not For Sale" round sticker affixed to the upper right-hand corner on the front underneath the shrink wrap and catalog number "AR-34001" located on the back cover and spine. 1st print cover with a red Apple image and the "1700 Broadway, New York, New York, 10019" address on the back. These promotional demonstration copies were sent to the media and radio stations several months before the official release of the album. The factory shrink wrap is fully intact and doesn't have any splits, tears or missing pieces containing two original breathe holes on the front cover and one on the back.

Aside from a light ding to the bottom left corner, this extremely rare factory sealed promotional copy is in truly stunning Mint Minus condition.

FOR INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS' CONSIDERATION

Due to the high risks involved when it comes international shipping, we’ve recently stopped sending our items with USPS First-Class Mail International and now use only USPS Priority Mail International Express. However, if your order exceeds the amount of $5000, we’ll have to ship the package with FedEx as oppose to USPS.

I don't have the information concerning the existing customs regulations and policies in your country. Before placing a bid please find out more details about it yourself. I don't take any responsibility for the length of customs clearance. I also don't have any opportunity to influence the work of postal carriers in any way. For this particular reason, I ship internationally only with expedite shipping service that includes signature confirmation. My capabilities are limited to the professional packing that assures a safe transit throughout the way and fastest shipping dates. After shipping the package I don't accept any claims related to the work of postal service or problems related to the absence of knowledge related to the customs clearance in your country. If you have any negative experience related to the postal service and you'd like to insure the purchased item please contact me about it beforehand. Keep in mind that just like you, I'm interested in our transaction being concluded successfully but my abilities are limited to the service I describe above.
