Beatles: Let It Be (1970, USA, Sealed) [APPLE]

Why you'll love it

This is a genuine 1970 US copy, still in its original factory shrink. Counterfeits flooded the market after 1976, so a sealed original is hard to find. The album drew 3,700,000 advance orders, the most in US record industry history to that point, and went to No. 1.

This edition

• Apple AR 34001, USA, 1970

• Gatefold sleeve
• Factory sealed

About the album

Let It Be came out in the US on 18 May 1970, ten days after the UK. United Artists distributed the film, so it held the US rights to the soundtrack album as well.

Capitol brought the LP back in the US after it bought United Artists in 1979. Phil Spector takes the producer credit for the final overdubs and mixing.
