      At the time, many people viewed it as a money-making scam by EMI. I was still at school when I bought mine and grudged buying it, but it was (originally) the only way the album was released in the UK. You bought the whole package or you couldn't get the album. Of course, once the rush of sales died down it was re-issued as a normal/stand-alone LP, the only difference being a green apple on the back of the sleeve. I remember Anne Nightingale (DJ on The BBC) calling them out about it and myself being a complete hypocrite by hating her for what she'd dared to say, while completely agreeing with her.

    Amazing that this exists. I came across this very version of Let It Be as a 14 year old in 1970. I had no idea such an edition with a book even existed. I bought it of course. No one else I knew had any inkling of such an edition existed either. Eventually it was stolen, sadly enough. Great photos. I really enjoyed the film as well.

    I remember passing on the lone copy they had of this in the import bin at Discount Records in Menlo Park California in 1970; I forget if the price tag said 10 or $20 but at the time, that was just way too much for my 10 year-old sensibilities... one of the great regrets of my life-- thanks for reminding me!

I noticed that yours did not come with the advertisement sheet of all the albums on Apple records ,which was inside box set. So in a way not complete! Book was poor quality sadly. One of my prized possessions though. Fan from day one of the best group ever. Strangely, I moved to US and met another loyal fan who became my husband ,his birthday is the day they first appeared on Ed Sullivan ,coincidence?? Or fate.

    Book pages will certainly fall apart once you leaf through it. I know it from my own experience back then. Pity it was not properly bound, but instead it has those separate glossy pages, simply glued on the back. As it is, it's best not to open it at all, if one wants it intact.

      @@TheJayson8899 I agree that Dig A Pony is a great tune but as Beatles albums go it's probably ranked second or third from the bottom. The Beatles themselves shelved this album for all the bad vibes that went into recording it. I don't know why Phil Spector got such a bad rap for taking a whole lot of material deemed unusable and turning it into a presentable release.
