Let It Be-at last

One certainty is that every few years or so on this blog there will be a Beatles related post even if I don't go into buying boxes of remixed celebratory reissues of albums or singles which been coming out in the last few years.

This as any beatle fan knows was the last issued Studio album although it was recorded before Abbey Road and tied into the film of the same name that originally was supposed to show a band recording in a studio recording new songs but ended up documenting the fractures within the band that lead to their breakup in 1970. That's probably why the original film isn't allowed out on dvd and blu ray - too painful for all still around.
I've been on the look out ever since getting the SHM cd in 2015 of getting a really good original all analogue cut record and recently obtained a copy. 

 That first sentence was a laugh, new phase-more like last album really but when you have Allan Klein as manager and Phil Spector brought on to make it more commercial you can expect such claims.
One clue for it's original is on the back namely this is a British cut and pressed record from nineteen eighy-one where that green Apple logo changed from red to green, backed in April.

American copies had a red apple logo but this has the "Granny Smith" apple in light green and for those who care has the stamper matrix numbers of YEX 773-3U and YEX 774-4  being cut by one Harry T Moss at Abbey Road.
This copy apart from minor wear to the jacket which to be honest may well of happened to it had I bought it around then, is in excellent plus condition with no wear and dead quiet when the music stops.
It can join my 1979 British Abbey Road for preferred stereo only releases as I generally like the older albums in mono having the complete all analogue mono reissues from 2014.
