Hi, and welcome to psych_out! auctions!!!
I've collected 50's, 60's, and early 70's records of almost every genre - Psych, Prog, Psychedelic Funk, Soul, Rhythm 'n' Blues, Pop, Folk, Garage, Acid, Freakbeat, Rock, Jazz e.t.c and everything in between for all my life!!! Obviously, 90% of the LP's I've ever gotten hold of are completely trashed from the hard living ways and the rock 'n' roll, drug and booze fuelled debauchery of all the wild parties of the times, but the golden 10%? Reluctantly, I've decided to offer them to all of you serious record collectors out there!!! I'm currently trying to set up a record label so unfortunately personal sacrifices have to be made when it comes to my collection, resulting in GREAT benefits for all you shrewd bidders and serious connosieurs of TRUE solid gold music history out there!!! Make no mistake, I'll try my best to consistently offer some of the VERY BEST records available on ebay, many which have taken me YEARS to find!!!
I aim to put a weekly batch up (time permitting) every Wednesday, all timed to end 10 days later on Saturday night. I'll only ever offer THE BEST, MOST AMAZINGMOST IMPORTANTVERY RAREST UK 1ST PRESS ORIGINAL RELEASE RECORDS I've got!!! I won't insult you with later 2nd pressings unless they are of exceptional quality and rarity. I'm sure you love good music as much as me, especially when it's a 1st Press LP, direct from the master tape, as the musicians intended it to be heard (none of this "digitally remastered",weak reissued, remixed rubbish from hired hands with one eye on the mixing desk and the other on the clock! If these session men really knew how genius should sound, surely they would've been geniuses themselves?! There will only ever be one Hendrix, and that's just a tiny example).
I try to be one of the best sellers on ebay and would like to thank all of you potential bidders for your support and taste in music!!! I strictly grade all LP's I list, visually and sonically using the UK RRPG standards as customer satisfaction is highly important to me, and I'll always do my very best not to let you down. Be sure to add me to your favourite sellers list and check my auctions frequently as i'll be listing some gems that you just WON'T want to miss out on!!!
I think that's everything, so let the auction commence!!!

The LP :

Labels :

Classic UK Original 1970 Apple labels!!! Both sides are AMAZING with NO signs of age, NO writing, NO stickers, and NO tears whatsoever!!! Just has ONE ultra light near invisible spindle mark on either side which suggests that this has literally been played once or twice at the very most!!! IMPOSSIBLE for a 45 year old record!!! Both must grade overall at least as Mint minus!!!

Record : Visual -


Spectacular Original UK 1st Press Vinyl!!! Nice bright, clean and shiny as if it was just pressed!!! Fantastic jet black mirror like surfaces, it looks ASTONISHING with NO nasty marks, NO scuffs, NO scratches, NO fingerprints, and NO groovewear whatsoever!!! The only blemishes off TRUE perfection are only a TINY amount of ULTRA light, wispy sleeve traces (only visible in mega strong angled light) from where it has sat or been removed from it's cover over the years!!! Of course, none of these ULTRA light blemishes interfere with play AT ALL!!! Many probably wouldn't even mention them!!! UNBELIEVABLE for a record of this age and rarity!!! You'll be amazed by how clean and unworn it is!!! Must grade overall visually as Excellent+!!! (graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not overgraded AT ALL!!! Customer satisfaction is of 100% importance to me)


Record : Audio -


Thankfully, it plays PERFECTLY with fantastic stereo separation and clarity!!! It really sounds incredible with NO hops, pops, distortion, sticks, or clicks!!! Only like ALL records has maybe the MEREST TOUCH of low level static in few and far between places such as on the run in grooves, but that's about it!!! It really is THE SOUND OF A MINT RECORD!!! You simply CAN'T find one that could possibly sound better!!! The music is TRULY crystal clear - It really does play with a CD-like near 100% black silence but with that depth, warmth, bass and clarity you can only get from a UK 1st Press vinyl!!! EVEN the quiet sections!!! Absolutely ESSENTIAL!!! UNHEARD OF for a record of this age and rarity!!! Must grade overall audibly at least as Mint minus (to be safe)!!! (graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not trashed or overgraded AT ALL!!! Customer satisfaction is of 100% importance to me)


Sleeve :


Original Mail Order only UK 1st press Box Set in FANTASTIC condition!!! 100% complete with the laminated John Kosh G&L "patents pending" slip case (which only has some minor ageing such as a miniscule amount of ultra light creases and just one or two tiny little indent marks in few and far between places, a very minor dent near the centre of the top and a small amount of minor wear to the top left corner to show from it's 45 years of existence!!! AWESOME and as strong as ever - Must grade at the least as Excellent minus!!!), the original inner box (in fantastic strong shape with only a minor amount of whitening to rare parts of the edges and just a small amount of light creasing to one flap - Must grade overall at the least as Very Good++!!!), the original inner tray (very often missing or almost ALWAYS in pieces - NOT the case here!!! 100% intact, super strong, in one piece and looking FANTASTIC with only the beginnings of two absolutely miniscule tears to two of the joins from the weight of the book (truly minimal, unavoidable and remains very, very strongly attached - as good as you’re ever going to get after 45 years - Must grade overall at least as Excellent), and last but not least, the AWESOME Get Back book (VERY heavy and in STUNNING condition with very little ageing whatsoever, no loose pages and probably glanced at no more than once or twice - only has a very vague scuffline on the back to show of it’s 45 years!!! This MAGNIFICENT book must grade at least as Excellent!!!)


Of course, it includes the original 1970 "Red Apple" G&L 1st Press fully laminated sleeve complete with original unsplit inner!!! IMPOSSIBLE to find this sleeve in anything approaching a good condition - most are spent, torn and worn due to age and the lifestyles of the buyers of this particular LP!!! This one is NOT, and looks AMAZING, especially considering the nature of these fragile sleeves!!! NO tears, NO splits, NO graffiti, NO discolouration, NO bad marks AT ALL, and still ultra strong and solid after all these years!!! Only has just one or two ULTRA light signs of ageing such as literally just one or two ultra light creases and the merest ghost of a record imprint, only a tiny little patch of laminate peeling to the centre of the spine (absolutely 100% unsplit)  the very slightest denting to just one or two of the four corners (though virtually ALL vintage sleeves have this), and POSSIBLY (just to be sure!!!) one or two other minor signs of age here and there, though nothing that really stands out to note at all!!! And that's truly about it!!! A MAGNIFICENT sleeve, and a TRUE rarity to find one as phenomenal as this - most have been virtually destroyed or are just about being held together, but not this one!!! It remains ultra strong, solid, unsplit and unspoilt, and even the spine remains ultra strong, solid, unsplit, and 100% readable!!! Must grade overall at the very least as Excellent!!! (graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not trashed or overgraded AT ALL!!! Customer satisfaction is of 100% importance to me)

Summary : A MAGNIFICENT one off example of this STUNNING piece of INCREDIBLY RARE Beatles history - a truly classic Stereo 1970 UK 1st Press Let It Be boxset!!! Hard to find in ANY condition, but SERIOUSLY RARE TO FIND ONE AS UTTERLY ASTONISHING AS THIS!!!

Please take a look at all my other auctions for many other ultra rare classic LPs, and feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Thanks again for looking, it's truly appreciated!! Cheers!!!

I've realized that most countries have their own unique grading system. I base mine strictly on the UK RRPG grading system (occasionally with a + or a - to indicate the higher and lower ends of the grade, though I only use these if i'm having real trouble deciding!), so please check their chart for further clarity if you are unsure of what my grades mean. As a general rule, a mint record will be 100% perfect, an excellent record will be in fantastic clean condition with the occasional mild mark and minor use from the years, and a very good record will have noticeable, yet light visual markings and obvious signs of age and use, but will still remain clean with relatively light wear and will play fantastically well with plenty of life remaining in it. I very rarely offer records below the very good region unless they are of an EXCEPTIONAL rarity and playing quality...I hope this helps!
