The Beatles - Let It Be... Naked
This fantastic reimagining of The Beatles final studio album is a 2003 European first pressing.
Paul McCartney initiated the Let it Be... Naked project in an attempt to create the 'stripped back', 'raw' sound that the band had intended to create when recording the album. In my opinion the project was a success; the monaural reproduction has the essence of earlier Beatles albums with the refinements in lyrics and melody that time brought to The Beatles. If you haven't heard it, it is definitely worth a listen!

This European release is complete with all original components: 12" LP, 7" Fly On The Wall' bonus disc, and 20 page 12 x 12 booklet.
This particular copy has the misprint 7" sleeve in which the text 'recording is' is written as one word to the reverse. It is said that these were released with the earliest pre-ordered copies. 

Condition:
Vinyl: MINT -
Labels: MINT-
The labels are bright and clean. Only a handful of very light spindle marks can be seen on either side. 
Visual: MINT-
Immaculate 'factory-fresh' deep-gloss playing surfaces which are unmarked in strong daylight. Under a strong halogen bulb only very light paper scuffs are visible.
Sound Quality: MINT-
The audio is fantastic. Until my play test I don't imagine that this record has been played. There is no sign of groove/play wear. There are quiet lead-ins to both sides and no static in between tracks.
Sleeve: MINT-
The sleeve looks superb. All four sides are bright and clean. All of the corners are crisp and sharp. The spine, edges and corners are all without wear.
Inners: MINT-
The original inner sleeve is in great condition. It is perfectly clean with no tears, writing or seam splits. The single looks as though it hasn't been taken out of the sleeve. The booklet looks unopened.

The record will be sent via an insured courier in a padded vinyl mailer.
