This was the Beatles' thirteenth and final album release. Let It Be was originally released as a Box Set, with "The Beatles Get Back" book. Of course the album went straight to the number 1 position within the Melody Maker, New Musical Express and Record Retailer charts. It stayed there for 3 weeks from the 23rd of May 1970. The release date was the 8th of May 1970 for the box set and the 6th of November for normal album release.

Vinyl:
137g
EX-!
This is a superb slab of ORIGINAL 1st pressing vinyl, with wonderful sound reproduction and only very light marks to the vinyl.
After giving her a gentle professional vaccum clean, I popped her on my Focus One Deck (with a very light SME arm setting) and have just finished listening through the whole album TURNED RIGHT UP...Superb audio-full of clear highs and wonderful bassy lows.


Labels:
EX!
She has the original 1st pressing DARK GREEN APPLE label.
NO writing to her...
I can see just a small handful of very light spindle marks, with a small bit of hole wear to side 1-Please see the detailed images provided.
They're in super condition, see for yourselves.


Cover:
VG(+).
 VERY FRAMEABLE!!
 Shiny, glossy, rich black colour to both sides.
The pictures of the Beatles shine out in all their glory.
The back cover has the hard to find RED APPLE above the EMI and Apple records text at the bottom.
There is some handling wear to this double-sided laminated cover. With some fingers of spidering emanating from the spine and a little wavy near the opening...Nothing terrible at all.
The colours remain vibrant.
Only light rubbing to the corners.
Legible and clear spine.
NO writing.
NO SPLITS

THIS COULD BE ADDED TO YOUR PXS 1 LET IT BE BOXSET, WITHOUT A PROBLEM.

Inner:
EX.
CORRECT 1st Pressing white, die-cut corners inner: "Patent No. 1,125,55" "Made In England." Rather than the later Made in Great Britain.
 Just carries some light discolouration-but so do I :).
NO splits
NO tears
NO writing


THIS REALLY IS A COLLECTORS PIECE-GETTING HARDER AND HARDER TO FIND AS A TRUE 1st PRESSING!
SOUNDS GREAT, LOOKS GREAT.
Get this beauty whilst you can, they don't come around in this condition very often
